P.S.

Wow - what a fabulous Summer; I love the warm weather. The only good thing about it getting cooler are the gorgeous new clothes in the shops!!

We were the hosts on Christmas Day (3 for breakfast, plus another 4 for lunch, and a different 4 for dinner!) On Boxing Day I drove up to Auckland and enjoyed a barbecue dinner with some of my relations.

At the end of January my daughter Cherie, her husband Ben and their boys Malakai (3) and Jakin (7 months) flew in. We had a marvellous time with them but all too quickly it was time to see them off. After a fortnight in Australia, they'll be returning to Cambodia.

Cherie brought over LOTS of gorgeous silk scarves which are for sale, a wonderful range of colours: new shades as well as some favourites.
