Winter has hit us with full force, even old Simon Gear cracked the nod to appear in a news insert tonight. This is my second winter in a row now, the pic is of a hotel I stayed in on top of a Swiss Alp in Lucerne. Although we dont have to deal with snow to that extent, South Africa is not equipped with central heating like the Europeans. For us hot water bottles and mini heaters will have to do, I find it hard to imagine how hard it must be living on the streets in this weather where the only source of warmth is a single blanket or jacket... if you are lucky. Makes you think twice before complaining!
