Christmas Barbecue

Just had a great night enjoying friends, food, and the Christmas 'spirit' - a bbq which was potluck so we had so much food, all of it wonderful, and everyone sparkling and happy. Yay. This was us when the first arrivals came, and we crammed on the porch until the numbers got too large for that.

John Cowan and I. . .

the wonderful food. . .

another funny face and I. . .Gene Nicolson

had my chinese lanterns out, adding to festivities, and this is a portion who sat beneath them.

Outside was very pretty too, with fairy lights and candles, but you can only see a glimpse here, past Robin and Tracey

Some more folks by the tree

AND on the day after, these two dear friends who both came from opposite ends of rural Auckland/Waikato and had (foolishly) opted to stay over, and DO DISHES etc, were around for a spot of left over lunch. Bless them. That's Helen there too.

Dearest Jen
Your Christmas Party looks lovely. Many thanks for your birthday card. Haven't been able to email you recently as our email has not been working since Mid September. I can read emails on my computer at work but unfortunately cannot reply to them. Hopefully, this will be rectified soon in New Year and then I will email you straight away. Have a wonderful Christmas. Big hugs and sloppy kisses. Libby and Andrew xxxxxxx
