Much less wind than summer, no flies or miggies like spring, and so much greener than autumn. Except that now my toes are cold!Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11594062064082350697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-39391798494876278252013-08-15T16:34:05.162+02:002013-08-15T16:34:05.162+02:00Sigh...

I grew up with winters like this, knowing that even in the depths of winter, you might still have a warm sunny day where you could put on a T-shirt and sit outside. As you know (!) here in the UK from November to April you are highly unlikely to have any need of a T-shirt (except as an extra layer under something else!!). Thanks for reminding me what the September bush is called - I have a lovely photo of a Johannesburg's friend's but had no idea what it was called!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325204219395014329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-25785059690490760292013-08-11T16:31:31.957+02:002013-08-11T16:31:31.957+02:00Yes, Tandy, I was rather premature celebrating tho...Yes, Tandy, I was rather premature celebrating those sunny winter days.

Here summer is the dry colourless season, when everything turns brown and there is hardly anything left in flower.<br />The golden shower has grown from one plant. It gets everywhere even poking tendrils through the garage windows and flowering in there. If we'd planted more than one I expect it would've taken over the house too!Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11594062064082350697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-6650860402113704942013-08-11T07:48:48.883+02:002013-08-11T07:48:48.883+02:00And then it snowed!
