Kiwi culture is fundamentally an outdoorsy one and not really made for cold rainy days. As winter draws closer, the tendency is a kind of hibernation, as people retreat into the relative warmth of their homes (I say 'relative' because the lack of central heating in most houses means it can get extremely cold indoors.) Personally, I find something comforting in this, especially when looking down on a wet and windy garden from the cosy haven of an upstairs bedroom.
