Today followed the pattern of recent years.
Both children plus Bex stayed overnight and Andy’s nephew Robbie visited en
route from Auckland to Wanaka. We started with champagne breakfast
while wearing tiaras and playing aeroplanes,
and trying out our new presents.
The broad beans have been very prolific
this year and I harvested a good crop for lunch.
While the cooking proceeded there was time
for relaxing in the warm sun (and unusually for Wellington – no wind!).
Finally we could sit down to the smoked
salmon and caviar starter (provided by Sam and Bex)
followed at an appropriate interval by the
main course of roast chicken.
Then several hours later as the sun was beginning
to dip to the west we finished off with Christmas pudding, brandy butter,
chocolate dipped strawberries and cream.
We hope you all have a similarly pleasant
and relaxing day.
Peace on earth and good will to all men.
