for info Jauntie, the word moderate strikes a chill on my heart. I am so bored of the sun, I like it most of the year round but am going to feel cheated if you don't get any winter. (Also, am tired of watering the garden every night). Lala last year was lovely and cosy although I did feel bad for the Asian Games, it rained pretty much every day from 1st-15th December.
