Xmas in July

[JDP]

Yes it’s a thing here in Australia as it’s often the coldest month and can be very much like Europe in winter.

My son headed off Friday to do a few music gigs in a small town the other side of the mountains, a 10hr return trip. His next gig after that is a 4 day 4500km drive. 
 

Just settled down for a relaxed evening with the Mrs when the phone rings🫣 our son, forgot his guitar and music folders😳

Mum, dad can you bring my music gear 😣. However the gear is at a different house an hour in the wrong direction from our place.

So a quick overnight trip it was. Got to his gig with 20mins to spare , which was a good night out. Camped at the bottom of the mountains in sub 0’c temps. Didn’t have to head to high before we were driving in the white stuff and -4’c mid day temps. Must admit it’s good to do a few trips to the snow over winter given it’s so close to where we live on the coast. It did feel very much like Xmas.

Started off with rain where we parked the 4x4 for the night, altitude turns it to snow.

Like I mentioned Europe, was thinking Austria 😄 which was always covered in the white stuff when I went.
