Christmas came and went this year. It was a quiet and peaceful affair. We had a lazy breakfast of eggs benedict and bucks fizz and afterwards we took the dog for a lovely walk along the beach. We opened our gifts and yet again we were truly spoilt.
We planned on volunteering over the Christmas this year but, found that despite our best efforts no-one needed our help! Intially we were disappointed that we could not be of any help anywhere but then we decided that the fact that everywhere was sorted was a good thing - the community spirit here is remarkable and we should not have been surprised that the volunteering opportunities were all taken.
We received an invitation from friends who live a few doors away, they asked us to join them for Christmas dinner - their kindness overwhelmed us. Dinner was scheduled for 5.30pm as vegetarians we would not be eating the traditional turkey dinner and Della had already planned to prepare a luxurious nut roast
which she cooked during the afternoon and then we set off for Kathy & Gord's armed with some very decent red wine, our nut roast and sprouts!!We spent a lovely evening enjoying good food, fine wine and excellent company - a different but delightful Christmas.
