Intending Christmas day to be balmy and warm was a dream destined not to come true this year, so after consulting the 10 day forecast we switched our alfresco dinner into an indoor affair turning the house upside down and reorganising furniture to cope with 20 bottoms on 20 chairs! Phew...done with no ring-in's needed. I always knew that second dining table would come in handy!
The day dawned showery but hopeful for breaks in the weather everyone arrived bearing food, gifts and golf clubs. A champagne infused game of paddock golf had all the young ones pitting their skills against the tight and testing holes, named balls where lofted into the tussocks, ponds and creek, while others found their way cunningly onto greens. A lot of fun was had by all.
Gifts were followed by gorgeous food provided by all the family, even the young ones contributed which made it all the more fun.
Merry Christmas 2013 from Coal Mine Cottage.
