In a few days I’ll be heading from this (currently) golden city of Sydney to London. Normally I leave for England early in November, but this year I’ve chosen to make a shorter trip over in anticipation of an extended stay once I graduate.

Until today I hadn’t thought much about it, but it looks like the difference in temperatures will be pretty servere this close to Christmas - with the two hemispheres being polarised in mid-summer/winter.

I remember a few years ago I was flying alone back to England just in time to take my Uni exams (what a great end to a holiday! ). It had been an extremely hot summer in Sydney, so when after around 21 hours of flying I looked out to see Europe below, it took a lengthy “paradigm shift” to realise that the white stuff on the ground was snow!

I must say though that personally I prefer the cold; one can always throw more clothes on, and it’s a good excuse to get comfy beside an open fire sipping Cocoa.
