Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!
I hope you have all had a fantastic time and still are!!! I had a great time yesterday (x-mas day) at Sue and Lachies, the food was great and so was the company!! I got round there about 10.30am after driving in a hail storm along the freeway, which was an adventure...the weather is cold and wet out here and this has been the coldest x-mas day every recorded so I really feel like I am back in England!! and the weather isn't going to get much better over the next week or so, typical when I have my own personal swimming pool!!! Anyway when I got their I opened my pressies from all the family, Sarah's pressies made me cry as she put a picture of Lloyd in a keyring and he just looked so grown up and it was the first picture I have seen of him since I have been out here. I loved all my pressies so much, especially the squashed marmite from Ron, Pat and everyone ha ha, but it was ok because Sarah sent me some aswell!!! Next I peeled 2kg of prawns ready for the starter, I don't know why they just don't buy them already peeled like we do in England...but it took me an hour and I stank of fish!! But the strater was yummy!! Then all the kids opened their pressies and all of them loved what I had bought them...especially the pool set that i had bought for all the kids (shame they can't use it in this weather!!) Next we had dinner it was lovely but I have to be honest and say it was nothing like mums x-mas dinners we didn't have any suet pudding!!! but it was nice all the same!!!
After dinner I was so stuffed and had had a few glasses of wine I just had to have a lie down and ended up falling asleep and left everyone else to clean up oooooops!! Good job they only have to put up with me one x-mas in every blue moon!!! So once I had woken up and felt a bit more lively Rach and the kids were heading home so I said bye to them and had a lovely relaxing evening. We ended up going down the road to Scott and Karren's house who live two doors up and had a few drinks of port and a chat. I had such a great day and evening, and wasn't as home sick as what I thought I would be!!!
On Wednesday I am taking Georgia and Harry to the movies and then they are staying the night at Bobby and Ross' with me...it is there x-mas pressie from me to them!!!! Also this week I am going to take a drive along the Great Ocean Road while I have got the car and I am hoping to go to Philip island some time aswell. I also have to get my act together and go and book my month tour around Oz so I can start planning on when I am coming home!!!!
I hope you all have a fantistic New Year and I can't wait to see you all again.
Love you all to bits and I send hugs and kisses this Christmas time xxxxxxxx
