Christmas Day In NZ

Testing the trampoline

Locals told us that just as in England it always rains on Christmas day. We thought they were having a laugh as during the week leading up to the day it had been in the mid twenties celsius with not a hint of any rain.

Anyway, Christmas day arrived and we had decided to have a barbeque instead of the traditional roast dinner. I spent the morning building Charlie's new Trampoline and the weather did not seem too bad, cloudy but still warm. I literally put the last bolt in the trampoline and was walking over to start up the bbq when the heavens opened!

Opening up the Christmas presents

The rain did not stop for the rest of the day and I ended up cooking the bbq in the garage! The weird thing is that it has not rained once since Christmas day to now (14th Jan).

Anyway, we still had a good day and managed to phone or E-mail all of the familyback in Blighty.

Bubbly for breakfast

Nice ears and hat!
