I can't be too envious, as we have had our Spring and Summer and are now into Autumn, which I love.<br />Your garden looks lovely. I remember some of your photographs from last year. You have worked really hard in it. I love the one of your daughter on her bike....it won't be long before her 'big bike' will not seem like a monster and she will be off !!<br />Enjoy the warm weather Jane and, of course, the delicious food that those seasons bring forth.

Melbourne springs...Yes, yes, yes - bring on spring! Melbourne springs are just a tease - a morning of promise, then an afternoon whip of icy wind - but at least it means we can enjoy the last few evenings of cosy log fires and delicious shiraz, before the warmer days are here for good. Love your image of your daughter on her bike - her face is so expressive! And a reminder of how FAST they grow up, too...Glamour Dropshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651174250292927988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-23725666490701482092010-09-28T16:39:36.248+10:002010-09-28T16:39:36.248+10:00Oh I have to agree with you Jane, it has been a ve...Oh I have to agree with you Jane, it has been a very long and grey winter here in the New England of NSW. Although I have loved sitting near the fire, it is so lovely to have some warm fresh air breeze through the house and to sit and feel warm sunshine on your face, is wonderful. Hope the lovely weather continues for you.

Sorry to be contrary but I feel that this has been a winter too short! Last summer got alloted a whole extra month, and didn't finally pack its bags until well into April, and it seems this Winter had only just got started when it ended. Yesterday in Sydney it was 27 degrees!In September. I mean, come on Weather Fairies!rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424607754108127078noreply@blogger.com
