We had a merry, merry, merry Christmas & all ate much too much (groan). My approach to Christmas changed direction in 2010. Usually I am quite bothered by a lopsided tree, or presents that aren't perfectly wrapped. But after a fright in Sept where my niece Henrietta was airlifted to Melbourne & luckily made a full recovery, christmas was about recognising how fortunate our family is, and how cruelly for other families, life is very different.
The dazzling Henrietta - January 2011
Henrietta has now decided that she would like to be a doctor when she grows up, but before that she would like to work at Subway - her favourite lunch spot.
You may laugh - our January holiday destination was very local - we loaded up the car & drove to Point Lonsdale (our previous holiday to Phillip Island was too far - vomits, migraines & more). We had a happy, sandy holiday. My little mermaids enjoyed splashing in the water while my husband caught lots of squid off the Q'cliff Marina.
