I’ve long felt his biological clock must be set on Southern times, waking up at 4.30-5.00 am every morning, as we did in South Africa, so it only seems natural that he connects so strongly in the middle of the Northern winter and snowstorms outside our window, with hot sunshine, barefoot walking and mangoes :P.
