Cooma reached 11 below last night,but up here on our hill it reached Minus13, I'm glad that the Earth has started its move back towards Sun
this morning, our bedroom windows had sheet ice on the inside. Going to be a hefty bill for power.

Re: Freezing
Cold down here in Melbourne but not that cold.
Had warm spell up to last weekend, then it hit.
Snow on local mount Macedon, nice for them just keep it there.
Coldest night about 4 degrees, some frost in parts and coldest day so far of 11.5.
Shortest day today so hopefully will get better.
Off the UK on July 5 so no worries for us, four weeks of somewhat better weather.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Have a nice trip John, and remember if you visit Wales wear a leek in your collar, save you stopping for a meal.

Re: Freezing
Des, last time I had a leek it was in one of my boots.
But they are a very popular and versatile veg.
