Christmas time first...
What a strange feeling to wake up and it be Christmas 13 hours before the rest of your friends and family! Our morning started with some breakfast snacks and drinks on our decking, it was pretty warm so we just sat out in our pjs and enjoyed our first (and probably only) christmas morning outdoors.
Not long after that we all got stuck into opening our presents, with some jolly christmas music in the background, and some champagne to help us get through the excersions of pressie opening. Everyone was really pleased with their gifts and we want to add a thank you here to everyone who sent out presents from back home, it was really appreciated and they were fab!
Next we got dressed and headed to the beach, after having collected Andy, Caroline and Kt. It was a little less sunny than we would have liked, and a little more windy, but it was a beach none-the-less and we were determined to stay on it for at least 10 mins. That we did, and here's the proof!
Back in the flat the turkey was cooking, the potatoes were roasting, and the veg was boiling. We all owe Veronica a huge debt of gratitude for doing the lump of the cooking, and a thanks to Carla for her scrummy stuffing too! Dinner as a whole was a group effort, and a tasty one it was too, so well done everyone!
Later in the eveing we amused ourselves greatly with music games, charades, and even some ceilidh dancing lessons! Of course the alcohol was constantly flowing, as were the tunes. Check out our groovy christmas hats too!
As far as Christmas' away from home go, this was a fantastic effort!
