Christmas New Year

We had a quiet Christmas at home with Peters mum, sister Bev, her husband David , and their daughter Linda.

After lunch we went over to Hadspen to see Angelina, Krissie and Joe.

Then we hit the highway and went to visit Aunty Joyce in the hospital at Campbell Town.

After we left Campbell Town we headed for the east coast.

When we got to St.Helens, our gate key would not open the park gate. it was 9pm by this time so we thought we might have to leave the car outside and walk up.

Luckily I had given my gate pass to Shaun and Reg and as they were also camping at the same place, they arrived a few minutes after us and let us in!

BOXING DAY:

Took off out to the Bay of Fires while Peter played golf. Showed Shaun and Reg around all our favourite places. Glad we did that trip. They've just now announced that they are turning the Bay of Fires area into a National Park

Angelina and Joe arrived later in the day, so we packed up all our Christmas dinner left overs and headed out to Akaroa Beach for a big picnic with Ham, Salmon, Turkey and salad and veg. Plus a pavlova that Shaun and I threw together at the caravan that afternoon.

Jimi had a good run on the beach and we found a humoungus jelly fish washed up on the beach..

SUNDAY: Back in the car again and back to Launceston to pick up Krissie and go out to a winery in Relbia for Guy Marshalls 50th B'day party. We spent a relaxing four hours being wined and dined under the big oak tree at the winery, then it was back in the car again for the two hour drive back to the coast.

MONDAY: Peter had to go home later today for work, so mid afternoon we all went up to Mt Elephant Famous Pancake Parlour. After stuffing ourselves on their gorgeous pancakes, Peter headed off and left Krissie and me to go back to St.Helens with Reg and Shaun. Ang and Joe had already left to go home that morning.

TUESDAY: Pack up day for Shaun and Reg, but they took me to the supermarket first to stock up since I didn't have a car until wednesday night when Peter arrived back again.

We took Photos at Kirwans Beach of Shaun and Angelina's Kirby bears...... and Jimi.
