Saturday...29 December 2012

We had a lovely Christmas. Christmas Day was at the farm with Himself's aunt cooking a traditional baked lunch followed by home cooked Christmas pudding with custard and cream. Yummy.
Boxing Day we went into town to a cousins place and her sister also came which meant we also had several children of various ages. They were wonderful kids. They got along well with each other, no fighting, played all sorts of games, were well mannered and generally helpful. The house had a lively buzz to it all day.
Left the farm yesterday. We were up early to wave to the Christmas visitors who also left yesterday to return to Queensland. We got away just after morning tea. Only travelled as far as town where we have stopped at the local caravan park. The good people here let us wash both the van and the car which has made us all sparkly clean again. The big dust storms sure make our home look shabby and unloved!
Last night we went to the club for dinner as usual and said our goodbyes to the friendly folk we have been seeing most Friday nights and today we set off again and head to my sister's in Victoria for the New Year. Its sad to leave but we will be back. This is the home of Himself's favourite relative. We will miss the daily activity and district news and occasional visitors dropping in for a chat and a cup of tea and slice of home made cake but most of all we will miss the people.
