While growing up in ’60 s and ’70’s Summer in England was this esoteric amorphous entity, I cannot pin point when it started. Perhaps it relied on nature’s direction; March winds and April showers brought forth May flowers.
Antipodean Summers are different they start on 1 December. Over the time we have lived here some years on the dot of 1/12 the temperature has soared to a point that when you subject yourself to the elements, your body is enveloped in a cocoon of moist warmth.
Not so in 2013 with a top of 23oC it is too cool to go for a dip in the pool.
Stan is happy, his shaggy coat grows by the second. 
I hope that you enjoy the pictures I took during his walk around Lewisham and Marrickville.

Beautiful, Robert! Though 23 sounds like summer to me 😉
Yes I used to get excited at 19oC when we lived in Birmingham 😉
It is quite mild here today,…. a whole 8 degrees… 😉
Not cold enough for snow sounds good to me 🙂

yep 🙂
I didn’t know crepe myrtles bloomed in spring there. They just finished blooming here. Happy Summer!
Thank you Kat
So gorgeous! It’s freezing here on my side of the globe. Nice to be reminded of flowers. 🙂
I will do my best to keep them coming 🙂
