Lazy Sunday afternoon
I have always said the best time to visit Cairns is between May and October. Looks like the season has changed early this year though.
Humidity has lessened and the temperature has dropped. And I can still sit out on the deck and type away in a strappy sun dress. Don’t get me wrong, I adore Winter and do miss certain aspects like blowing steam out of your mouth or snuggling up in front of a fire. Oh and I love being all rugged up in my cape with a scarf and a woolly hat with the cold air blowing against my face. Memories of walking dogs through fields in Jersey in the Channel Islands with my Aunt and Uncle in January where frosts hung around until well after lunch flood back as if it were yesterday and not 17 and then 12 years ago!
I don’t know if the wet is really over yet. I see showers forecast for the next couple of days. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the rain, but I also love the long stretches of milder days full of sunshine where you do need a doona at night, even if the ceiling fan is still on and sometimes you even get to wear long sleeves…
So if you are planning on visiting then any time from now til about Grand Final weekend (Last in September for non sporting people!) is a great time to come. Just give me some notice so I can prepare the guest quarters/dungeon/downstairs room etc!
