I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas break.This is a part of the Penneshaw beach that I walked every morning while we were on the I sland. This was Christmas morning, cold and damp and lovely!
We had a wonderful few days, lots of relaxing, walked everyday sometimes twice a day, got up late, went to bed early and ate great food. Caught up with friends and had a terrific time. I hate coming home, and after having some old and new friends for drinks on Christmas afternoon it was sad to pack up and leave next morning.
It was 13 degrees on the Cape jervis wharf when we arrived and i had sat outside, as I always do in case of sea sickness and I was frozen even if I did have about 3 layers of clothes on.
We headed up to Pt Willunga for lunch with friends and cricket with the children on the beach. Had to pick the cat up around four so home and then unpacking all over again. I think we were in bed by 8!!
Tonight is a friends 80th Birthday so we go to Mclaren Vale to celebrate, his one of those we go fishing at Coffin Bay with and a well known wine maker. We will stay with the other friends, also wine makers who come fishing with us. Should be a good night.

Seasons Greetings Penny. Glad you had an enjoyable and relaxing Christmas at Penneshaw - Hog Bay is a delightful and still uncrowded beach. We often take our little old Cavalier (Ollie) there for a walk and ball-chase after arriving on the ferry - he loves the calm waters. The landscape is still very dry here at Western River. For the first time we have had to order a delivery of 60,000 litres of water to top up our rain water tank. Fortunately the gardens are getting by on water pumped from our marron ponds. Anyway, best wishes to you and John for the New Year; I look forward to your sketches and watercolours in 2007.
