The summer here is the same temperature as a South African winter so we are still adjusting but amidst that we are really happy and enjoying all of the elements which we did not have back in Pretoria, like being 10 minutes from gorgeous beaches and white wool all over and green that never ends and safety and large open spaces in our countryside home.
