Winter in Perth

Rissie is visiting us right now.  She wasn't sure what to expect of winter in Perth, and to be honest, neither was I.  The week before her arrival storms of wind, rain, and cold (15 degrees C) tore through Perth, leaving people without power and waking me up in the night with images of tree branches coming through the window.  I'd heard wind howling around the eaves before, but that was the first time I'd heard it roaring around the eaves.  But the day my sister arrived the sun burst out in welcome and the temperature soared to a comfortable 22 degrees.  We celebrated with a trip to the beach.

Turns out winter in Perth isn't half bad.
