It's Spring

The southern Spring technically arrives on the 1st September, and this year it's arriving right on cue. After a colder and wetter Winter than average, we awoke this morning to brilliant sun and stunning temperatures. It was 8 degrees C at 7.00am and is forecast to reach 18C today and 20C tomorrow! Flowers and trees anticipated this turn of events and many are coming out into leaf and flower.

OK, that's only about the same as Plymouth or Bournemouth at this time of year, but our prognosis is upwards, not descent into Winter and, for me, weather strongly determines mood and confidence. A nice day, and I'm a nice bloke!

Anyway, this post confirms what I told my UK correspondents during our recent UK visit. This is the best time to visit Australia if you want to avoid the hotter weather, but I'd leave it another month as October and November are really nice.
