In the summer heat there is shade

If you come from Australia and the temperature is 30 degrees Celsius as it is in Sydney today then you will appreciate the value of shade.

When you travel in France there are long and lazy summer days where the temperatures can climb almost as high as they do elsewhere in the world and on those days you appreciate walking slowly in the shade as distinct from those poor tourists who are having their lunch in the sun. Still, they may be from a country a little further to the north and need the heat to thaw out from their long winters
