January 2014

I can't believe it, Christmas is over already and today I waved goodbye to Kate and her family. It seems only days ago that I was excited about Paul and Joe arriving, and now they have all gone home and it is only 3 weeks until Andy and I set off on our return trip too.

Still, we have had a lovely time with everyone being here. We managed a barbecue on Christmas Day even though the weather wasn't the best. Steak, salad and lots of wine, with Christmas crackers and party poppers in the garden! 

We have been to the beach and the park; been taken down the water slides at the swimming pool and watched 'Frozen' and 'Walking with Dinosaurs' at the cinema; we have been walking in the mountains and to see Leonard Cohen in concert; we have fed ducks at the lake and walked in the bush. It's been lovely and I miss them all. Will see you all in March team xx
