New Years' Splash

For New Years Eve Cath and Ryan put on a magical BBQ in their new home in Invermay. A very pleasant evening was enjoyed by everybody there.

Next time somebody should tell Cath that Sangria is not improved by the addition of a bottle of vodka, and the recovery time for some would have been shorter. . .

Luckily it was a warm night so those that ended up in the pool look as though they enjoyed it.

Duck Off

The Christmas Tree seems to be up to the expected ceiling sweeping height and looked even better with all the goodies under it.

This year Denise thought we should have duck to complement the meal and Dave was duly despatched to buy one. On the way out she added "better get two" and on the way back in also added, by the way, you are cooking one of them. So began the great christmas duck-off. Denise's was roasted; Daves was steamed and then fried. Both were delicious, but there is not much meat on a duck with 18 or more people to feed so the real star was Sue Bowen who arrived with a ginormous turkey which was much appreciated by the starving masses. A lovely meal, which also included a cayfish from Patrick was enjoyed by all.

On Boxing day we went down to Liz's in Hobart for Pizza and then on to the shack at Eagle Hawk Neck for a couple of days. All in all a lovely Christmas. :-)

Here are a few pictures of the occasion.
