By far the best part of the holiday for me is having friends over for lunch or dinner this past couple of weeks, and the big family get-together on Boxing Day. My posting may have to wait until after that. Merry Chistmas, Jo!

Thank you & as for me this month, I think it's just -frizzled brains-, with too much happening. UK visitors land at 11.30pm on Wednesday & of course Melbourne airport is t'other side of city to us, so could be a very late night. I also owe you an email. Oh dear!
