The more you read about the poor souls freezing in below zero temperatures in Texas, USA, the easier it is to be thankful for the non stop rains we’ve been sloshing through this February.
A few of us who’ve been to the South Island of NZ have had a taste of the ‘first and last’ lifetime experience of ‘hell on ice.’
When you’ve spent most of your active life running around half naked in the tropical weather of the islands, living in a deep freezer is not our thing.
No that is not an exaggeration for those of us born and raised in our island paradise. Absolutely!
If you do want to be really thankful for living in Samoa, take a trip to NZ in the winter.
Back in Samoa you’ll be so ready to jump out of the house and roll in the muddy grass when the sky darkens and the heavy clouds drop their wet soaking load on your head.
“……but rolling in the snow will give you apple cheeks and red feet, dear.
