The core group met last night (Christmas Eve) for our annual Christmas dinner complete with ham, turkey and roast beef. It is now umpteen years since we started and it is great to see everyone again - including the Lees who flew in from Seattle despite the snow storms there. The children are really growing up and begining to join the 'adult' table.
Conversation and wine flowed easily - remembrance of the year's events, the challenges of the past year and the traditional 'to more good years' cheer.
It is so good to have friends to share this annual experience.
