A little late though I am guessing a lot of you have been too busy to read this – or have given up on me. I’m sorry not to have been able to send you individual greetings or speak to you. I must admit that we are all missing you – just a bit – at the moment.
Have a wonderful time, love and kisses to you all – here are some shots of Christmas in Australia…
The bushes are decorated – subtle eh?
These four above were taken on Christmas Eve. We went by ferry to the very exclusive and pretty Watsons Bay where I now definitely want to live. On George’sd recommendation we went there and decided to sample the fish and chips – four times more expensive in the restaurant than the take away – so we went to the take away!
That evening we went to Darling Harbour to watch the fireworks display:
Taken from our apartment (45th floor this time – sadly no upgrade to the penthouse) the town hall is lit up with pictures:
Christmas day dawned and it was grey and raining! Who would have thought it! We had a lovely day at Joel’s parents house Mark and Kirstin and their family. Joel and Rory shared a room in Vietnam for six months and then went travelling together. Their house is in the north shore of Sydney and beautiful and surrounded by trees and bushland although only four stops from central Sydney. The kids played in the pool – despite the rain, and the adults went on a bushwalk. This blue lizard was on the deck!
Tune in next time for tales of our superlative Boxing Day adventures! Off to Nz tmr and no more internet time here – bye xxxx

Happy Chrimbo Macfarlanes!
Glad to hear you’re still having a fab time. Don’t miss blighty – it’s grey and damp now all the snow’s disappeared. Just our cheery dispositions keeping us going!
Love,
Jane xx
