December 21st Melbourne - Summer Solstice
These bleak grey Melbourne days remind me of why I left here sixteen years ago. Cold and mean under a leaden sky when it’s supposed to be mid summer and you’ve been longing for sunshine all dark winter long.
Our friends here apologise for the weather (as if it’s their fault) and say it has been warm and will be again soon.
And we say “But we like it!”
Yes, coming from hot and humid Northern NSW, we now welcome this exact same weather which used to depress us. It’s refreshing. It’s cosy and nice to not be sweating.
We walked from Fitzroy down to the NGV ( National Gallery of Victoria) but discovered it was closed on mondays,which was disappointing. Then we found an unexpected art gallery in a nearby alley way.
