Possibly  just to make you even a bit more jealous we had a lovely picnic on the beach for our Christmas Lunch!

After a relaxed cooked breakfast in the sun on the patio, we had a Webcam session with Julie and I ended up carrying the laptop round the house to give Andy’s sister a “guided tour”. We then packed up all the goodies we had – with a bottle of wine of course (thanks Julie) and headed off to the beach.

It was lovely and sunny but the water was a bit too cold for a swim so a paddle had to suffice.

After a lazy couple of hours it was off to Ben & Clares via a quick visit to Peter & Gill. I attempted to fly a small plane I had made from balsa but suffered a most embarrasing “crash and burn” as the motor cut out on the maiden flight. Oh well, back to the glue and try and find out what went wrong. Then there was a cricket match in the field.

Then back home for an hours webcam with the Wood Mill Mob  to see the girls opening their presents, much fun watching Fern and Esme “Dressing up” while Neve watched on quite happily.

It’s back to normal now as we are both working Boxing day but we have Sunday off so depending on the weather we will find something to do I’m sure.

Hopy you all had a great Christmas

Best Wishes

Happy Christmas to everyone who takes a look at this blog.

We will be thinking of you all in the UK shivering in the snow while we have our Christmas Picnic on the beach.

Just to make you jealous here is a typical NZ Christmas scene.

 Hope you have a wonderfull Christmas and a good New Year.

 Love and best wishes to you all from Jim & Karen
