Remembering my first 'White Christmas' even though it will be fine and sunny and 28c here.

50 years ago in Guildford, Surrey... that's me in a mini skirt of all things sweeping snow from the path and below David trying to build me a Snow Man!  Lovely memories!

That was one very lovely day, TEAMG arrived but only for one day, they stayed at the Intercontinental for the night so we spent the day with them there.

After a couple of hours sleep Tom and Emma headed to the shops while we stayed with Abi, Tilly and George overlooking the busy City of Sydney and with my very clever, even if I do say so myself, 'No Picture' 300 piece Jigsaw Puzzle...

The kids couldn't wait to start this 'no picture' puzzle, David is reading a moving sign which never seemed to make any sense... what is that sign??

Tilly just loves me ❤️❤️❤️

This is a clever photo, the children discovered that most pieces fitted with almost any other piece so George was determined to make up his own puzzle, his face in the middle of it was a fluke!

One very proud George, he's made a Puzzle!  💙💙💙

 Bit by bit, never giving up, on and on they went... 💝💝💝
 Sorry... not showing you what this Jigsaw turned out to look like... after Christmas maybe, but I'm telling you it was so popular there were requests for more puzzles with even some suggestions on what they should be, so this morning I spent an hour or two ordering a few more, lets hope they arrive before TEAMG head home after the New Year.

Then we were joined for dinner by Nerys, Tim, Jack and Charlie as well as Gwilym, Emily, Remy and Elodie... only missing Briony, Kate and James but we will be getting all of us together before New Year!!

These photos are pretty awful, it was so dark in the restaurant.
George and Remy.

Elodie and Tilly,

 Oh deary me... the 'Devices' have taken over  😗😗😗

 Elodie, Abi & Tilly.

Tom ordered the Beef and Prawn Skewer... Wow!

I enjoyed some onion free Bruschetta, which was just light enough for me.

Gwil enjoyed the Ribs.


Jackson did a great job of demolishing this Big Burger.

There was someone under the table, one very sweet little man it was with a great big lovely smile.

So it was a quick get together, TEAMG are on a plane to a beautiful Air B&B in Vanuatu for a week.

Lots of Purple in the garden this morning, just lovely!



 Why is our Jacaranda so late in flowering and why do the new leaves come before the flowering?
 Not nearly as pretty as some Jacaranda's around the town but at least it's flowered!
