A different (almost) Christmas view

Most of the people who drop into my blogs seem to be from "up north" - i.e. the other side of the equator to me.

So, this is what Christmas looks like in the southern hemisphere - green and leafy.  We have a had a cool spring, so no brown landscapes just yet - although its only a matter of time.

One closer inspection I wish I had seen the house number on the left hand side - I would have include all of it if I had!



Hope you all have a good Christmas - and for those "up north" keep warm, and for those "down south" keep cool - and for those in the English Lake district - keep dry!!

You can find more pictures from around the world at Our World Tuesday.

  4. We do not have a white Christmas this year, here far too warm for this time of year.
    I wish you and all your loved ones a very merry Christmas and a good and especially a healthy start in the new year.

  5. From the top half I wish you down under a pleasant Christmas. It must seem strange to see all images and hear about Christmas's in a winter's theme with snow and all.

  9. Not sure I could ever get used to a 'hot' Christmas. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. We are 'battening down the hatches' awaiting the storm to strike.

  10. I would prefer seeing your pretty green tree over all the brown leafless trees around here. We did have 70 degree temps over the weekend. Merry Christmas, Stewart!

  13. coastal NSW, a very welcome change from the heat of the past few days ...almost half the temperatures; what a relief. Even a very light spattering of h2-o last night! Best wishes Stewart.
