I live in Brisbane, Queensland. Known for sun. I have brightly coloured parrots in my back yard, palm trees, a mango tree next door. Sub-tropical climate. I don't own a coat. My house has no heating. I eat breakfast on the verandah. The sun is in the north down here. I love it!!

Talking (writing?) of Brisbane, if you want to see a film set here (and on the Gold Coast), find Gettin' Square. Timothy Spall is in it and I highly recommend it.
