Merry Christmas



Russ and I hope all of you who read this have had a wonderful Christmas and we wish you all the best for 2007. Our WA Christmas was great-lots of good food wine and fun and did enjoy my first ever Christmas celebrated outside Victoria!


Blair, Leah, Todd, Russell and I provided lunch (seafood, ham and salads) for 12, then dinner for another 4 plus a few drop-ins for drinks later on. Dinner was more traditional with turkey, pork, beef, leftover salads, roast veg and several sweets. The guests kept us supplied with nice drinks. As you can imagine, lots of fun was had shopping and cooking for the day as well. The kid’s house is a great place for entertaining with the beautiful pool out back and their huge table and many chairs. It was a pretty warm day so the pool really got used and enjoyed.

I have lots of photos of the day so will post some soon. We had Russ’s NZ nephew with us and it was nice to hear from Daniel, Mick and Ryan and Kirstyn. Mick is leaving Whistler on January 5th, so will be home in Warrnambool when we get there.

Boxing Day was spent very quietly-we came home and I slept for 3 hours! We had stayed over in our van on the two previous nights. Today we went over and collected a few of our things we’d forgotten, ate the last of the turkey and had several swims. Leah was home as she is in between jobs with 4 ½ weeks off before she starts the next. It looks like the weather will stay hot until New Year’s Eve, so I think more swimming will be in order for us. The plan NYE is to spend it quietly at Blair, Leah and Todd’s with a very few others.
