Description Yesterday I went out for the first time on my bike after a fortnight, this time going to the polderland west of Hilversum/The Netherlands. At a certain place - near the canal of Tienhoven, for those who want to know it exactly -, I found a place with countless geese. The ones which you see on the shot are just some of them!

Wow, that is a lot of geese! They must all fly to the Netherlands for winter!

It's getting colder here in the south,and raining a lot.No wonder everyone fled to the north!

It is getting cold here this weekend, too. So perhaps they shall go further south again.

How much winter do you usually get?

Not that much.Where I live,which is west of Johannesburg,it seldom snows.Frost yes,but that is about it.The only place it snows about once a year is on the eastern side of the country,on the high mountains,and then near Cape Town,on the mounains there.It seldoms gets below 0 degrees on the coldest days in winter.I think we are spoiled rotten,don't you agree?

Just do enjoy your comfortable climate! There are so many places which do not have it.
