Merry Christmas 2015 one and all.................

I've been pretty slack lately with the blogging and I apologise for that, I am still alive, thanks to those who asked. We've been pretty busy here so I got behind with updates then because I was so far behind I just didn't know where to start blogging. So instead of worrying about what is now past I shall be in the present and take this opportunity to wish you all, friends and family far and wide a very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2016 from all of us in NZ.
We had Michael and Natasha here this evening for Christmas Eve supper of glazed ham, freshly dug new potatoes and home grown tomato and basil salad. They are here tomorrow for Christmas Day too along with a couple of their friends. It always feels much more festive if you have a houseful. We're pretty well organised, Joe will put the turkey in early and we'll have that with the ham, potatoes and a variety of salads. But enough of that, here are a few of the festive photos I've taken so far, if you have time and want to see more I'll put a link at the bottom to my Facebook Christmas 2015 album.

We have lots of snow and it's around -10C, -18C with the wind chill!! Not too bad really. Hope you are enjoying the heat (have a hard time getting my head around hot temps. at christmas)!!
