It's Christmas time

Straight to the point. If you are expecting a Christmas card and haven't got it yet, chances are it either got posted on Monday, or is still on my hall table. If you love me you will consider it something to look forward to when the excitement is all over. If you don't love me then why would I send you a card????

Talking of love how can you not love someone who sends a surprise box full of goodies?

Thank you P :o)

Also talking of love, how can you not love someone who remembers you moaning about not being able to buy Christmas Cake decorations in Oz, and posts you some gorgeous ones. Picture of cake will appear after the event.

Thank you H :o)

Here are the babies (ahem) 6 months old already and the size of a healthy young horse. Gorgeous :o)

Kristian filling the doggy paddling pool, it gets hot out here y'know.

The beach at Gnarabup, near Margaret River, lovely spot for a swim and a coffee.

We shall think of you as we eat outside in the blazing sun, Roast meat and salads and treats for us.

Merry Christmas everyone, yes, even you lot that don't let on you are here ;o)

Why is Fraser not Anthony anymore????

We get asked this a fair bit from the folks and friends back in the UK, so we explain..... Anthony was supposed to be Fraser but as we drove to hospital (yuk spit) in labour we realised his initials would be FA not great from a football point of view nor another you may think of, so Mr Hojo in his wisdom decided to swap the names around. Mrs Hojo was busy and should have said no, but there you go, she was busy producing offspring in a short staffed, worse than mediocre hospital that leaves people alone for hours on end when they really should be tucked up in a half empty ward, bitter? me? you noticed. Anyhow, Fraser has heard this story a few times, more as we were visiting the relatives one last time before we left the Uk for Oz and piped up that if his Mum wanted me called Fraser them I am.
And that was that.
We started in a new country and all remembered his name, easy as pie.
So now you know.
You know what, he really SHOULD have been called Fraser, it suits. And no one will ever call him Tony, thats a good thing :o)
