Happy New Year!

2007 is here! We celebrated the transition from 2006 to 2007 quietly, with some friends, a BBQ and plenty of drink. After the thunderstorms that evening, and limited sleep, we spent the first day of the new year relaxing on our boat at Lake Nagambie, with a picnic lunch and soaking up the sun! Aaaahhhh!

Christmas was wonderful. For us, it really started on the Saturday night when my friend Julie and I hosted the annual Julie and Tracey Christmas Party. This was the 10th occasion of the full traditional Christmas Party we host for our friends, with spectacular food, great decorations and of course, presents! It was another superb night with so much laughter it's a wonder the neighbours didn't call the police for disturbing the peace!

On Christmas Day, we opened presents at home and then went to Mum and Dad's for lots of good food and wine. An unseasonably cold day - we even had the heater on - but very relaxed and capped off with a long phone conversation to my brother in Thailand!

Now, it's only just on a week until we leave for the UK and Belgium. It's getting very exciting, as we work out what to pack, and make travel plans. Greg's mum arrives to us on Sunday so she and I have to hit the shops on Monday to buy her an outfit for the wedding, but once that's in hand, we'll be all set to board that Qantas jumbo next Wednesday!

So the next posting will be from shores far from here - and hopefully filled with exciting tales!
