Winter in NZ

We've blogged about early summer in Europe, so here's some photos from winter in NZ....

Our car on Saturday afternoon. Nice.

Liz inside said car, with snow on the outside (until she opened the window to clear away the snow to see that is - then all the snow came inside the car, onto Liz's lap. He he.)

Our garden Saturday morning.

This is all excellent news for the ski-fields, but not so nice for Sarah, new TSCF Staffworker in Lincoln who's arrived in NZ from an European summer. She was last in NZ in June-July 2005 so thinks that NZ is always cold and that summer is a distant dream, never to arrive. In fact, she thinks it's like Narnia under the White Witch 'always winter and never Christmas'! She's got about 6 layers of clothing on and is getting very good at lighting our log burner!

Some of the church youth group on a progressive winter dinner - our stop was dessert. As it feels so Christmassy to Liz she forced us to listen to Christmas music and eat mince pies. All very nice, but very confusing for the Kiwis who all said 'but Christmas is in the summer'.

Snow? Christmas? Makes sense to me! Here in Ohio right now it is HOT, and the snow sounds so refreshing! God Bless you...
