Sydney’s air has a dense watery (almost tropical) texture to it on an almost daily basis. I am yet to feel that icy chill of autumn or winter that I grew so accustomed to in England. Saying this, a change is definitely in the air. I had to dig through the recesses of my wardrobe for something warmer than a t-shirt and have spent most weekend with my face pressed up against the windows, wishing the torrential rain would just do one and let us enjoy our beach home in peace. Saying that, it’s been a fair while since I experienced an autumn and I find myself looking forward to the onset of the chill. You can remind me of this post when, in a few months, I will be deep into my first Aussie winter and no doubt willing summer to hurry up and get here.
Hope the rain stops so you can enjoy a nice Autumn week. In our part of the world, the dry heat is creeping up with the intense heat looming ahead. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteso funny how the seasons are switched - here we had our first real week of warm weather and a gorgeous weekend, i am so excited to break out the t-shirts! hope your autumn treats you well.
ReplyDeleteI am with Colleen- gearing up for a warmer turn in the weather. But, I do hope you get to enjoy your autumn!
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in Southern California we learned to sense the subtle change of the season. We get true winters here (especially this year), and I'll admit, I love it. Enjoy your rainy autumn, dearie as I'm staring down the barrel of a muggy summer. Then we'll flip! It still blows my mind!
ReplyDeleteoh i am so excited. if you remember before you moved one of the things i was most excited to hear about what the "backwards" weather. so, i am assuming it never gets that wintery in Oz does it? is it mostly just rain? does it get very cold?
ReplyDeleteThat is so crazy that you guys are totally opposite than we are.... Just when we start flipping our flip flops out, you're bringing out the warmer clothes. Ah well, makes life interesting doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThere are many Sydney blue skies winter days though, so brace yourself for a different experience.
ReplyDeleteI kind of love when we trade seasons with people in the Southern Hemisphere. It makes me excited about your fall, even though I'm so glad to get out of the cold weather finally
