Xmas morning swim at St James

 So lovely to join the Boting family and friends for their annual Xmas morning ritual of a swim at St James. 

Xmas lunch with the family

So wonderful to be with the family over Xmas this year. The highlights of the sumptuous lunch included gammon, chicken, turkey, amazing salads and xmas cake ice cream.  Yum!!!

Xmas carols at Woodside

 Also lovely to see the old xmas carols. Brings back memories from my choir days. The pastor gave a wonderful sermon.

Gavin's Xmas party

 The annual party dressed in my usual garb ("Rocker with a Mullet"!)  The food as usual was stupendous.

Xmas day

A refreshing dip in the ocean, followed by presents, and then finally the most scrumptious Xmas dinner. The highlight was the alcoholic rum and raisin. So delicious!!
