Hi guys
It is really interesting to hear all about where you live (or would like to live). I really love living in England, especially in the countryside which is where I live now, after living in a major town since I was born.
However, I do like to be able to go "back to civilisation" from time to time, and work often neccesitates that I go to London. Another great thing with the UK is that I can get from where I live, to London in only about 2 1/2 to 3 hours by road.
We have a whole variety of weather. PLENTY of rain, snow around Christmas / January / February (-10 to 0 degrees C), and pretty good summers (30-32 deg C) - (especially in recent years, probably due to global warming!!!!).
I think we are supposed to be a "temperate" zone which means we have a good variety of weather, but not usually to an extreme either way.
I have posted some snow pics below which I took this past February at home - just for all those who long for a bit of snow!!!!

All this talking about snow makes me desperate for Winter to come!
My town is located between two mountains, one of them being the highest of Portugal, so they're always full of snow in the Winter! Unfortunately, it hasn't snowed in the town for 5 years or so but I can't complain
Right now it's really hot outside, it's been like this for months! In the Summer the temperature was always above 40ºC, it was unbearable![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

Hi Aragil
Your place sounds lovely
I know what you mean about the heat though. We have a house in Puerto Banus (near Marbella) and we often pop across to Porugal!
Gibraltar is only about an hour from our place, and the Portugese border is only about another hour on from there.
The temp on the Costa de la Sol is always in the high 30's / 40's througout the summer there, and it is really too hot to do much outside! I prefer to go around Easter or Christmas when it is cooler!!!!

Just thought I'd add that I love England because of its history! Since a young age I have visited castles all over the UK and find them very interesting! I am studying them at GCSE at the moment (History) and am really enjoying it!
I was also born in Germany (Munster) although I am a British Citizen! (My dad was in the army and we were stationed in Germany at the time of my birth)
I loved it in Germany and can remember visiting the Mohnesee! (I think that is how you spell it!)![Verry Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
