Back in December we had the good fortune to experience an Irish Christmas.

I can’t begin to describe the differences between a wet Irish Winter and a hot Adelaide summer but needless to say there was considerable culture readjustment in both directions.

This blustery evening in Galway on Ireland’s west coast ended in us getting drenched to the core with a valuable lesson in dressing for the climate, … a lesson for next time!

On our return we experienced the surreal of both a European Winter and an Australian Summer in the same day. It grounds me in the fact that all of these different worlds are one in the same, … our world.
