SUMMER IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

Hi

While most of the world has been dealing with floods, freezing conditions, tornadoes and other natural events, I have been down in New Zealand and enjoyed a wonderful summer in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The weather has been warm, the people amazingly friendly and I have had a number of speaking engagements as well.

If you get the chance to visit this wonderful green country, come in their Spring to their Autumn (October - March). New Zealanders don't use the term 'Fall' to describe autumn. The picture to the left, shows Christchurch taken from Sumner Beach and shows the Southern Alps in the background. New Zealand was founded by English settlers and Christchurch, in the South Island of New Zealand, is known as the most English city outside of England. It has to be seen to be believed.

Its coming into Fall now down here and time for me to bring my holiday/working time to a close. Keep an eye on this blog because soon I will be posting regularly again with hints, tips and products to enhance YOUR speaking abilities.

Keep well

Nyree
