After spending three weeks in our new country, and (generally) being made to feel welcome wherever we go, I find a comprehensive 183-page e-book to help us acclimatise, in my inbox.
Near the beginning of the book, there is the stark reminder: something of which we are acutely aware, but one always needs a gentle reminder. Mood-wise, we find ourselves in the “up” swing of the cycle – the start of the “down” will coincide with the onset of the wet and cold of winter.
Oops! They have inadvertently left us off the map. No worries – I have set the record straight with a prominent yellow arrow! Nice.
