Just picked up this m/ings post at 12-25 pm Merry Christmas everyone . Some bull sh*t from Sainsburys telling us to start thinking of it . Why dont they go and shove this rubbish where the snow will thaw instantly and leave sane people alone to enjoy the summer  . No wonder folks are leaving s/markets in droves it will be buy your easter egg next month .

Perhaps they're confused? Downunder it's coming up to Christmas in July....might be odd but at least the cooler weather helps you think it is Christmas!

I always thought you did Xmas at the same time as the rest of the world but just did it on the beech in bidgie smugglers and thongs. We do but Christmas lights etc. and 35-40 degrees C feels wrong....so we wait for an English summer day and try again  [PS no budgie smugglers here].

Yesterday I had to cool off in Craster harbour its tiny with clear water , an ancient place in N/umberland . Best oak smoked kippers known to man. Cooler Richard cough cough  Jnr has just returned a few weeks ago and she has a photo ( in her living room ) she is in a bikini on Sydney beach in your winter. I was swimming in the North sea y/day ( as above ) . You are very very welcome to come over in January and Febuary and walk the Tyne piers with me 1/3 of a mile out into the North sea . It freshens you up and makes your cheeks red lots of locals ( both sex ) use it for fishing some at night , but not in strong winds.

I did (December) Christmas in Oz once, it was surreal. One celebration was in Sydney's Darling Harbour and Santa and his Elves arrived on Jetskis. Mad, but great fun
