Its a beautiful sunny day here in Tasmania. I don't mean to rub it in but winter is finally over down here. First day of Spring. Everyone is welcome to come down under for a warm summer holiday. Spare rooms for visitors. But you need to book. hahahaha.

Hi Gerald,always love first day of spring,new beginings etc!

Here in Queensland,its been a very warm winter,so will be interesting to see what spring brings! Actually, I hope it brings some rain,we are still very dry.

In Tasssie you can see the beautiful change of season,as you know, we miss out on that.Enjoy your spring! xx

Wendells. The locals here say its the coldest winter for many years. certainly the coldest in the 10 years I have been in Tassie. Trees are beginning to bud and there are new lambs everywhere, just soooooo cute (and silly)

in reply to

And and and, Wattle trees are flowering everywhere.

Hi,

I'm in Melbourne and today is a beautiful Spring

day but I'm not getting too excited because it's going to be cold again!

in reply to veg58

Hiya Veg58. Today has been the warmest day for weeks and weeks. Temp has been down to -5 where I live . Coldest winter for years. Here's hoping we have a warmer or even hot summer. Speak again.

I am soooo jealous........it rained all day here, yesterday and it was cold, and so dull.

in reply to Magpuss

So sorry for you Magpuss. Things can only get worse.

in reply to Magpuss

Magpuss why don't take up Gerald offer. ..book now before the rest of the UK wakes up.

It sounds so good. .I feel gutted to use all money saved up for a holiday to pay for an operation on my shoulder.

Oh for a winning lottery ticket ✈️.......

in reply to Magpuss

Do they still have lotteries in the UK?

Magpuss in reply to

Of course - if we can't look forward to proper summertime anymore we can at least fool ourselves into dreaming of visiting sunny spots, elsewhere in the world. I'll be buying a ticket later today, fingers crossed for a winner 👍🏻

OK! No problem. LOL

in reply to freefaller

P.S. Can you cook? Could do deal here. hahahaha

freefaller in reply to

Yep it is my favourite hobby. LOL. Talking of cooking I have to send my cousin in Dubai some recipes as he needs to lose weight for his No1 daughter's wedding in March must e -mail him. My pet hate is ironing and have a lot of diversionary tactics to avoid it - like staying on here all morning when only two of other half's shirts a couple of blouses and a pair of trousers are all I have to iron and i know that when I start it will be over in a thrice but just hate the idea of doing it!

in reply to freefaller

Ironing? Whats ironing.

Autumn is well underway here and has been for the past month. Leaves already turning and falling and temperatures like late winter/ early spring. Summer was a total washout this year. Enjoy the nice spring weather.

in reply to Billiejean_2

I do like the visual aspect of Autumn. But its still bloody cold here in Autum

Lucky you! We have had a pretty rotten summer with just the odd heatwave. Now it is about 13 degrees and feels very autumnal.

Take care
