This is lovely, Kev. Just what I need. We haven't seen the sun in days, so it's hard to believe there will be a spring!

Kev,

I really like your layout on this. And, as everyone else said, what a joyous thing to see your beautiful flowers to remind us of rebirth. I like the saying too. :)

Sissy,
so pleased you like it. The UK at the moment is grey and cold but it will get better soon, I hope!

Hi Kev,
Just an echo from me, nice image! The days are getting longer (except for those who are basking in summer right now) and I for one am more than ready.
Happy New Year and I am glad to see you back.

Ellen,
thanks, glad you like it.

Great montage Kev.

I, for one, would swap your cold weather for a day or two. The temperature is dropping now but it was up to 37 Celcius today and the past four days have all been in the 30s :eek: Cool change expected tomorrow - here's hoping.

Karen,
thank you, pleased you like it.
On the TV the other night there was a program about the drought in Australia,
some parts having a drought for the last ten years. My heart goes out to the people in those areas.
Kev.:)

[karen donnybrook]

Yes, Kev; this past winter has been one of the worst for more parts of Australia than usual. Even here where we are in a very, very safe area it has been drought conditions for us. Further out where there have been pockets of good crops, the locusts have devoured them.

Nice image Kev.

.............well it may well be mid summer (especially for Karen :D ) but Christmas Day in Tasmania was very cold. Hobart the capital had a maximum temperature of 13 C and snow fell on Mt Wellington (Hobart is at the base of this mountain). There was an interview on the local news with a tourist from the U.K. who said he spent all this money to come to Austalia for some nice warm weather and he had had warmer Christmas Days back home! :eek:

Today was a bit more pleasant, about 27C. But, generally speaking, we don't get the high temperatures here in Tasmania that Karen experiences in Western Australia. But it is also very dry here, we had very little rain during the winter. The drought in Australia has reached critical levels in much of the country and the farmers are really doing it tough. Water supplies in some of our biggest cities are starting to reach critical levels.

Robyn,
pleased you like it.
The worst thing in the program was watching the sheep farmers having to sell their sheep at rock bottom prices due to the lack of water.
