Laurie and Toni's for Christmas Lunch

Port Kennedy. Arrive here to find Laurie and Toni well in hand with their preparations to have a crowd of 30 to 40 people over for lunch! They've just moved back into this house in the last couple of months - so doing great to have us all around. This is a wonderful, casual and fun get together, with everyone contributing with food - though there's no doubt about Toni's work with the roast meats and roast vegetables. Food is delicious - hot and cold mains, followed by cold desserts. Food galore of course. Marilyn and her grandkids (of all ages) have fun with their water fight - water balloons and water guns. I manage to keep out of it, by making myself useful in the kitchen (decorating pavs). Young ones continue to enjoy the pool and water games through out the day. The rest of us relax, eating and drinking in good company with Laurie and Toni's families and friends. Laurie is president of the local cricket club, and as such is hosting some young UK cricketers he has staying with them at present. Also has invited the other UK cricketers and their host families along as well. Lovely friendly, welcoming place to be today. We don't have Mark and Jenny with their family or Gary and his family here today - they are with the in law families.
We leave shortly after Marilyn and Ray, we're gone by 4pm. Great visit.Read more
