In the part of The Netherlands I live in we don't really have the same climate as the UK .................Here we are land locked not maritime and as it result we get much colder and much hotter!!
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

sorry Gryph, didnt mean you have the same climate as UK, just that it'd be good to have a change of seasons like europe etc, leaves change colour and fall....you know its autumn, buds appear on trees etc...spring has arrived.

we dont get really cold here in Perth in winter avereage winter temps around 3C/37F at night and 16C/60F during the day.
we do get real bad fog sometimes,bitterly cold antarctic winds and when it rains in winter it pours,cant see 10m in front of you sometimes and have to pull over when driving cos cant see car ahead...then the rain stops and its sunny again

thankfully, im not working on roofs,i hang doors, skirtings....all internal stuff. i have a couple of portable electric fans also, for the summer months, that keep the air circulating,plenty of cold drinks in the esky. not much else to do.
try to start at first light when its gonna be hot, finish by lunchtime...especially when the cricket is on TV....and its Ashes time....the only thing thats i still support England for,over australia,already got my tickets for the 1 dayer at the WACA in february(eng v aust), we should hold the ashes at summers end,ossie team are the worst ive ever seen:prediction 3-1 to england
