Happy New Year!

It's been a hectic but fun Christmas.  We were given a table tennis table a few days before Christmas and it has been put to very good use with lots of fierce tournaments taking place.  The weather turned beautiful for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so we were able to go down to the beach for our customary Christmas swim.  For Christmas lunch we had a Turducken (chicken inside a duck inside a turkey) which was a triumph especially paired with my special "get ahead gravy"!  We made it up to Tania Park for the start of the Sydney to Hobart - Jules assures me he's not too sad not to be on St Jude this year and he's been following her progress very closely.  Alex and Nicola have now arrived and are staying with us for a while as part of their month long honeymoon.  I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.  In the meantime we wish you all a very Happy New Year!!
