Oh Jennie, 28 degrees at night! Oh sheer bliss! I can take even 40 degrees and high humidity, but the cold just finishes me off, especially with a sharp wind.

I think what I hate most about winter is the lack of daylight. I dislike drawing the curtains at 4pm, I feel as if I'm in an underground tunnel.

We often say that if we won the Lottery (not easy,as we don't even do it!) we'd spend the winter months in Australia and stay in UK for the summer. Africa is a bit too dodgy healthwise (malaria etc)
