CHRISTMAS DAY

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM
MOUNT MARTHA BEACH
This morning as is the usual for Max and I on a Christmas morning it was breakfast on the beach

One special thing was this writing on the beach
It says 'Pumpkin will you marry me'
Our son Daniel proposed to his girlfriend Candice
From behind the boatsheds this is what we saw

Aaahhh....how sweet

Of course she said yes.

The four of us then had breakfast on the beach.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.
Tomorrow we head off (driving) to Queensland to see my 86 year old father who isn't very well.
On the way home I hope to call into Cathy Penton and Angela Osment's shop Simple Things Small Joys in Highfields

See you all again about 10th January.

My store Alison by the Bay will be closed until 10th January.

Any purchases or emails made will be dealt with on 11th January
