North-facing windows are indeed a joy. In the depths of a Ballarat winter, the huge patch of sunshine in my loungeroom is the perfect antidote to the August blues. The warmth of the sun is different from other heat sources, and I find myself drawn to the sunny spots as though they are magnetic. The warm floor on bare feet and sunshine on the skin give me that little kick of Vitamin D that gets me through another few chilly days.
