I spent 20 years working in country NSW and then moved to Tasmania and thought I would enjoy the cooler/cold climate.

That lasted for about 2 years and by year 7 we were both busting a nut to get out of there and move back to somewhere warmer.

There's always a certain romance about colder climates but when you're paying 500 a quarter for electricity in winter plus around 800 a year for firewood that you then have to chop - usually in the rain - the romance soon disappears
I've had a couple of years of cold weather. I lived in Ireland for about 4 or 5 years. Other than that, it's been one hot country after another (South Africa, Botswana, UAE, Australia).

Planning on going back to Ireland. Hate the heat.
