Air conditioning πŸ€ͺBeen here since 1991, husband was in USAF so we retired here. It’s not too bad, we live in San Antonio which is quite pretty. 🐞🐝

We have the same hot and humid here in Florida. The azaleas give us a spring show but no tulips or crocus. Our son and family lived in San Antonio for about 12 years and moved to LaVernia about 6 years ago. Nice town.

I'm from Sydney ................ gee how I miss the heat and humidity. Now residing in Cornwall, UK, weather is totally crap. 1 day sun, 6 days rain or dense cloud cover.

Cornwall is a beautiful place but I feel your pain regarding the weather πŸ˜‚

Aw, I'm in Cornwall too, it has been a particularly crap winter this year, but I think that goes for everyone everywhere. I used to thrive in hot and humid too, but can't take it now, feel like I'm being suffocated. I know it rains an awful lot here but wouldn't want to be anywhere else but Cornwall now. I think what you see some countries have had to contend with the last few years, I'm not going to complain about more grey days than I'd like. One plus: a miserable winter makes the Spring colours really pop! Enjoy it, wherever you are good people. πŸ˜€πŸŒžπŸ’xx

Hiya PaperQueen,

Thanks for bringing me down to earth πŸ˜€

Thing is I've been spoilt, I've spent over 45 years of my life in Australia, Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. Mind you, when I was a kid and we came down to the south west for holidays, usually Whitsun week, we always had sunshine. But now this sort of weather is so unpredicatable.

That said, when I arrived in Sydney in 1967 the weather was always dead set to be hot and sunny, even winter was sunny but not hot. Over the years though the weather in Oz has changed with much more rain, cyclones and flooding and, to a degree, unpredicatable.

So in summary, Cornwall is winter weather on the one hand, and trapped in our homes in summer because of tourists on the other hand. πŸ˜±πŸ˜±πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

🀣True! I'm in SE Cornwall on a peninsula so luckily most of the tourists zip past us on the A30 or A38 heading SW. We don't go down Cornwall all during the school holidays. Luckily there are a couple of local beaches that the tourists haven't found yet or that are too much of a climb (though I can't get to them anymore either), but it is frustrating to to go anywhere in summer. Ah well, life is full of compromises! πŸ˜„ xx (I'd love to go to Oz but fear my travelling days are largely over)

On Saturday we went to Nymans (National Trust) and there were hundreds of crocus, daffodils, tiny cyclamen, hellebores out. Also camelias - and the magnolias were almost out too. It was beautiful after the couple of weeks of mostly fine weather we've had. It seemed that spring had arrived suddenly and with stunning beauty. My pics aren't clear enough to post so it's lovely to see yours on here this morning, lifting our spirits once again!

Oh wow BB, what a joy to see., thank you for sharing. We have had a few really good warm days here in Manchester, and must admit I have had to dig deep to get myself together for spring chores in the garden. It's such hard work now but am sure it does me the world of good to be outside excersing . I have limited myself this year, just doing a couple of hours each day x

You take your time and head back slowly into what you're comfortable with...The sun was shining last week with temps of around 15 we are away back down to under 10 ...

Onwards and upwards πŸ™Œ take care of you 😍
