I am in my late seventies,but this Winter in East Gippsland would have one of nicest we can recall. A few cold frosty nights,some rain, mainly at nights,but lots of lovely sunny cold days. Can't wait for the snow to melt,and to get up to the High Country,all depends on the virus. Stay safe.

We are living with much disunity at the moment (certainly disagreement) and emotions are rising, people end up saying things they don't necessarily mean.
