Mary Hamilton, in wishing everyone on the list a Merry Christmas, reports that in New Zealand, "Christmas Day is promising to be a fine sunny warm day". Hugh, on the other hand informs us that in Scotland it is -11. I wonder to what extent it was the weather, rather than economics, that prompted our forebears to emigrate? Or their progeny to remain. Cape Town, BTW, will be a sunny 26C tomorrow. You could be here by tomorrow morning Hugh! Steve
