We’ve reached that time of the year where we’re scrambling to find the air-con remote while our northern neighbours are shivering under layers of snow.

The grass is always greener ey?

To be honest, the minor inconvenience of having to shave our legs to wear cooler clothing pales in comparison to the heavy snowfall which is seriously getting in the way of everyday life in Europe.
