Christmas

De Beyer's vineyard. (Taken on a walk with the girls. Pokolbin.)

Poinsettia. Palm Beach.

I had been dreading Christmas, but despite its various disappointments, it was much nicer than I had hoped. It was a real joy to have us all together and to be able to enjoy the children and the grandchildren.

Very hard on the N's to organise themselves and the children. I don't expect they will repeat the exercise in a hurry, but it was terrific nonetheless and probably would not have happened but for Don's stubbornness (determination).
