Are you in Australia Harry, your poem indicates you are in a Southern Hemisphere climate, like us. Although no one really knows what to expect any more! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

All of which depends on where we are on earth. Malta's summer begins in July. I wonder what will cost me in electricity.
