I’ve just returned from Australia. The weather was similar to here, but actually cooler in the evenings and it being their winter I took my wool wrap and Ugg boots. They don’t do central heating but most places have air con systems that reverse air which is thankfully hot. In other places, there were no heaters and I wore my wrap in bed.

I was reminded of my college days when I didn’t have enough money for the meter to keep the flat warm and we used cling film (it’s called ‘Glad Wrap’ in Oz) over the windows to keep out the draughts. Also we didn’t need a fridge either as our milk used to freeze on the table!

Thankfully most days in the north of Australia are around 25 degrees, so I soon warmed up. There is generally a lot of interest in Bowtech Supplies and seeing that the exchange rate is good for export we are setting up a shopping page – so look out for the Aussie flag in the shopping area soon.
