Easy Christmas Day 2024

We had a lovely quiet Christmas Day with Crystal, Gerrard, Jason and Sharni.  I was all organised and only had to dish up and voila, it was all ready.

Our yummy Christmas feast.

Plenty to eat.

Ready to dig in.

Gorgeous bauble glassware for festive drinks.

use the flash and scare them away.

The Cicadas in the tree on Christmas Eve in Travellers Rest.

The Cicadas were so loud.  I haven't seen this many before.

It must be a good year for them.  

Breakfast at Samuel Pepys with some of the staff.

We had a lovely relaxing catch up with some of our staff at Samuel Pepys for breakfast this morning.  Two more work days before Christmas, and it was great to catch up and not talk about work, well not too much.

Checking out the menu.  So many great choices.

Too much yummy food to choose on the menu.

Great to catch up.

Still checking the menu.  How can I choose.

Lots to chat about.

This looks amazing.  So yummy.

Okay, lets tuck in.

Put your phone away Eva.  Now eat.

Yes, Frosty I got a photo of you too.

Another coffee anyone.

Time to settle the bill.

Waiting outside after breakfast.

Where to next.  More Christmas shopping.

No, don't talk about work.

Lovely to catch up.

Bye for now.  See you tomorrow.

Merry Christmas to our staff.

Getting ready for Christmas.

Our Christmas tree went up at the end of November along with all the Christmas decorations.  I love Christmas time 🌲

The glow of the sunset across the river.

This means the solar lights will come on soon.
