Cooler climate

I hear you Cosette! We leave London tomorrow to fly home.  This week has been freezing, about 4 during the day. I believe the Gold Coast is in a 35 degree heatwave!  My hot flushes are going to go berserk! But after 6 weeks can't wait to get back to our beautiful Australia!  Jane x

Could be the way to go - just have to wait for the right time of day!!!

Yes we certainly have variety in our weather!!B)

You should all move to Melbourne where you can experience 11° and 35° in the same day  :p

Thanks Paula :)

As I sit here sweltering in a very sticky humid Cairns summer i'm thinking of joining you!!!

Only kidding, I do love it here but these last few days have been way hotter than normal.

I guess do what's best for you.


Hugs

Thanks iserbrown!

That is sad that you have experienced the devastation from the floods.  As to fires, that is something that we live with here as well, the fear of!  For us it is an awareness of our environment.  I don't leave home on total fire ban days and we have the emergency app on the phone that dings to let us know if there is anything.  We have ours set at 20kms from home. 

I am sure in time you will make a decision that will suit you and your hubby!  Take care

The fires are a key concern for me, but not so much for my husband, due to the animals rather than the house.  We lost our house in the 2011 floods and lost 2 - 3 :( cats during / soon after the floods  (1 died of an aggressive cancer), and that devasted me - I still get emotional thinking about it. :'(  

I'm hearing you Tassie. Been lumbering around muttering about moving to Tasmania, Canada, Iceland,, Antarctica....Anywhere that it doesn't get to  40 degrees. Anywhere it's rare to get above 25. Common sense tells me that I'd whinge about the cost of heating and the grocery prices but, like you, it has it's attractions anyway. Then I remember the fires in Tasmania in the last couple of years and think 'That would be just my luck".
