Summer in the air

November has been an amazing month of endless sunny days, many of them warm. There was even time to dash up to the Sounds with my sister and spend two wonderful days relaxing and eating great food with family. We discovered that Pelorus River had warmed up enough to warrant a dip, we returned with our togs that same day and spent considerable time splashing about in the emerald water and jumping off rocks into the deep pools. Pure bliss! Then it was back home to work and start thinking about the silly month of December when everyone suddenly wants to have a BBQ, or street party somewhere.
It feels more like the holidays than it has for years - the sunshine and smiles of everyone around? Probably!
