Gale force




Summer blew away today, just as I got an email from Dad saying that spring has arrived in Augusta. The gale that blew our summer away must have deposited it on the other side of the world. Here's a little video of a blowy cold rainy day, a day when the wind pulls the door out of your hand and everyone goes in and out of the house laughing because of the sheer energy of it. I'm wrapped in a blanked ("rugged up" as they say here) with chilly hands. Soon there'll be blogs bemoaning the fact that New Zealanders don't believe in central heating. But for today, enjoy the wind--I certainly have.

And, while we're talking about forces that blow through you, here are pictures of the children with Trish and Keith's brand new puppy, Sancho. I think that puppy (and his brother, who belongs to M and G) has blown through quite a few hearts already...

Sanco is almost as lovely as your children!

Do the British families do without central heating too?
