I would just like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and prosperous 2010 - take care and stay warm and safe and one day dear Ipswich I will return for Christmas the way I know and love it - Merry Christmas:):):)    Report

Yes the snow Mike , oh well you have to admit it does look lovely. I have a different view on the weather though,my job has me working outside in all weather, and I find the summer here in Qld can be really difficult at times,I have had one or two not very nice doses of heat stroke plus the usual sun damaged skin problems, thank goodness this summer has not been too bad , [so far anyway]. Well off to Sydney today for a few days to see my mum in law,,so looking forward to spending a bit of time round the Rocks. Tony    Report
