| Called the Australian Xmas tree as always out this time of year |
It's all been so pretty low key compared to home so it was hard to get into the Christmas spirit in the heat and sun. Decorated house and gardens are few and far between, although these people made an effort with their bike, garden and tree.
The organisers of the outdoor carol concert and nativity reenactment at Dunsborough did their best, but really our local primary school put on a better show! Picnics and carols in the sun didn't do much for our festive feelings.
The manic last minute shopping still apparently happened, but as we didn't have to do any present or food buying, it has kind of passed us by. Not missed at all!
Christmas eve
Christmas day
A bit different - Graham and I went to the beach, along with most of Perth! Had to be done.
Then back for breakfast by the pool. Then present opening for Niki, Tim and ourselves
This was the painting by our amazing artist friend Bob, in Witherslack, of Lester - Niki loved it, of course. See his Facebook for his wonderful paintings and fund raising for charity
Then out to lunch at gorgeous restaurant in Matilda Bay on the Swan River.
Great 3 hr meal with Niki, Tim and Lynn, Niki's sister in law. Window seats overlooking the yachts and water. All very different and not a turkey in sight, but we did miss our bread sauce!!
As ever, worldwide, we all collapsed back home feeling stuffed with good food and wine - great! We talked to Jen later in our day, just as she was revving up for the big dinner in the Cotswolds - sorry to miss the family day, but ours was pretty good too.
