It's Winter... But Not As We Know It

The shops here are full of adverts for winter clothing, heating etc, as we arrive in winter. Only the weather now is about the same as the best Glasgow boasts (with much balmier evenings) and would be considered pretty good anywhere we've lived. Warm dry days with plenty of blue sky, warm and largely bug free nights... what is not to like. Guess the locals are too used to it...
