Here in my own little (big) world out here I have been totally sheltered by all the Christmas fever that hits us each year. It is quite surreal missing out on all the hype but I know it is an exciting time of year. I know many of you will have finished kinder, school and work and are busy getting christmas presents ready and looking forward to a break. I will still be posting my blog over this time so look forward to you following me over christmas/new year and posting comments.

I am enthralled with your perception and understanding of what you are going through. Truly amazing. Need to find out more when you return. By the way is it a one way trip or back again?
Hi MG, tough snow again eh! We remember your balmy day is around -10c! and you need it a lot colder to get firm snow. We have asked Judy the Candle Lighter to light a candle tonight at mass to give you firmer snow and we’ll do the same. Love to hear from you on Christmas day; if you get a chance pls call on my mobile coz we’ll be having pre-lunch drinks at gerald & Kay’s place. Wish you were here, but we’ll save our celebrations for when you get home. Horace has visited us for Christmas again! he’s out there eating sunflower seeds right now! (that’ll have some people thinking “who’s Horace”) Tonnes of Love, Jan & TG
