Wow, what an interesting post, it conveys very well that you love the place where you live and you love your snowless winter. And although I can't imagine winter in Ukraine without snow (because it's a pretty miserable sight when it's mostly rain and dampness), winter in South Africa looks pretty attractive, at least looking at your photos)).
Indeed... I love my country.
My son stays in Ireland, and I don't hear him stop complaining about the cold and the snow, so yeah, I know what you are going through.
Here, where we are staying, I had a jersey on once last winter. For the rest of the time, it was just long sleeve shirts or dresses.
BLESSED!
Thank you for the visit! ☕
