white wine in the sun

My family's Christmas tree! Complete with a six pack ;) 

Greetings from Oz!

It looks like it's going to be a gorgeous sunny Christmas here - after only a week I already have a tan.....well, a tan with a reddish tinge to it (whoops!)....and after a horrendous bout of jet lag that let Tom and I bedridden for a whole day, I finally feel normal and rested and ready to enjoy my first Christmas Down Under since 2006.

Being back here has been wonderful so far (apart from Jetstar delays and aforementioned jetlag!)and it has made me realise how much I miss my friends and family.  The time we've been apart has melted away and it's as though I've never been away.  I am so grateful and blessed to have them.  I already know that leaving will be very hard!!

Report on our brief 24 hour stop in Sydney coming soon (it was fabulous!) but for now here's cheers to you and yours this holiday season.  Whatever you're doing, however you're celebrating, whether it's snowing, sunny or somewhere in between......I wish you joy, love and happiness.  And a sleigh full of chocolate.

Right now, I'm off to have a white wine in the sun.  With my mum....and Tom :)

Merry Christmas my friends!! xxx
