This has been something I’ve been looking forward to. Coming “home”. I grew up in Melbourne, but spent my summers in the Central Coast of New South Wales. Summer in Australia is also Christmas Time so we would have a huge Christmas Dinner at my Aunty Joan’s house (AJ) and Rhonda and Dan, Richard, Kylie and Scott (all cousins of some nature) would come and stay as well. And it wasn’t just a week, it was a nice long holiday so this is where my memories are.

We spend the day (and overnight) at Kylie and Karl’s place where Kylie and I following in AJ and my dad’s footsteps by polishing off a bottle of Tawny Port and great conversation.
