Pleasure - I wish I was there. Sydney is too hot right now - hate it. Planning to maybe build a cabin like yours in Tasmania - it's never more than 25 degrees there. And I love winter. I spent January and February in Germany once and just loved it, cycling on the snow and all. Just loved it. We do plan a trip to this part of the world soon. Thinking of Iceland, but will try to visit Finland too - although it will be in August/September - not really winter.
