Ah of course. The seasons are reversed on the southern hemisphere. Sounds a bit strange but I suppose it's to do with the way the earth orbits and sits on it's axis. or something.
I do like a good winter though, but the summers here are such a pain. Warm, hot, humid, muggy, cold, wet. Bleagh!
All I know is when I finally get round to emigrating it's going to be somewhere warm. Not any of this weird scottish stuff.
Sorry.
