Happy Kiwi Christmas

For one reason or another we decided not to go away on holiday this Christmas, but instead have enjoyed a Kiwi/British style Christmas holiday with Anna staying with us. I (Lizzy) worked with Anna in Gloucester, and she's now based in the TSCF Wellington office - trying to bring order to staff-worker induced chaos.

It was Anna's first non-UK Christmas, so instead of the much more traditional BBQ she insisted (and we didn't try and deter her too hard!) on cooking us a roast turkey with all the trimmings. Here's the feast she served up on Christmas day.
We've had lots of fun together, catching up, chilling out, reading, doing a jigsaw, watching TV, and enjoying the summer sun, as it's appeared in the past couple of days. Yesterday afternoon was spent at Corsair Bay on Banks Peninsula, which was lovely! Anna and Mothy got to go swimming, and Lizzy got to sit in the sun and read! A perfect summer holiday!
