Well, not MY usual Christmas, I should say. Why? Because it was a REAL Christmas ~ and you can’t buy that! It is such a refreshing change to be in the country relaxing, rather than in the streets of LKF drinking my memories away (not that it’s not an enjoyable yearly thing I do, I do miss all of you very dearly, girls)
Christmas pudding with brandy flambe and cream
Christmas presents and turkey carving
Leg of ham, rustic succulent side dishes, and festive table settings
cows grazing, cabernet grapes ripening on the vines, black swans and pelicans
Golf at your doorstep, scenic drives and wine tasting (drunk driving not included)
I returned to Sydney plenty more relaxed, rested and happy. Another quiet one coming up for new years eve as well. Fortunately, The Ivy doesn’t open til Jan 8th, due to multiple complications – hence my sudden unplanned holiday. Happy New Year everyone!

This is the turn of a ‘new life’ for all of us, I spose….new way of Christmas and New Years….tell me it’s got nothing to do with a quarter-life change.
Hope this means a better life for us all!
