Happy Christmas, everyone!
Today, we had a most Australian Christmas, and it was certainly very different from our usual traditional English Christmas. After some heavy rain yesterday afternoon – the first for two months – today was warm and sunny (with no smoke!). So we walked to the Christmas service in the sunshine, wearing Christmas shirts, with sunscreen and sunglasses: it felt very weird.
And then on to lunch – a traditional Aussie seafood and salad on the barbie. We had a huge platter of seafood: prawns; lobster tails; barramundi; salmon; and oysters. James had a chicken skewer, and Daniel had macaroni cheese, and then decided to take all of his clothes off and play with lego while we had our lunch.
And it wouldn’t be Christmas in Australia without a visit to the beach. So once our tummies had settled after lunch, we all walked down to the harbour beach at Wollongong, which is very calm, and went in for a swim.
A lovely Christmas Day – like no other we have known!

Food looks great although the purist would comment that cooking on gas is not BBQ! Kids look to be having a good time and water looks lovely. Have to say though I think we British do Xmas better the turkey and chestnut stuffing takes some beating
