Christmas is coming


A Pohutekawa Tree - The New Zealand Christmas Tree

I can see the Pohutekawa trees coming into bloom across the Bay from the deck. That means one thing. Christmas and summer are both just around the corner.

In one week of course, I will be in the UK. The Pohutekawas will be replaced by oaks and summer will be replaced by winter. The nights will draw in and fires will be the order of the day. To me though, that is Christmas as I know it. It will be good to be back.
