Christmas this year was spent with Anna in Adelaide. The Christmas Lunch was spent with Adam's Mother, Sister and Nephew. The Head Chef (Anna) and side kick Ros, provided a magic meal and atmosphere. Christmas tea was spent with Adam & Adda, Peter and Cherise and the "Old" Seniors. Click here for photos
As the kids were not coming home for Christmas, Peter and Anna decided they would surprise the oldies and come home for the weekend to celebrate a Birthday/Christmas thingo. They arrived on "Tiger Airlines" on the Saturday and returned to Adelaide on Monday. Click here for the photos

Connor in Pool Movie (Quicktime)

Addison on BMX track (Quicktime)

One of the problems in Tanzania was that I was attacked by a Lion and finished up with a wrist in plaster (actually I fell over in the show).

On my return the lawns were at least 2 feet high (Slight exaggeration).

Ros stepped up to the plate as the movie on the right shows (click on the photo)

Heading off Tuesday 3rd August.
