Boxing Day

Our South African friends, the Karnezos family, were scheduled to spend Boxing Day with us so things got underway pretty much as they had on Chirstmas day... first was to get the ham in the oven!


Dakin Farms certainly know how to do good ham!


The wild turkeys were back - probably thought they were safe once Christmas was by...
The snowman had acquired two eyes (champagne corks) over his first 24 hours of existence... you can only see one here because of our resident red squirrel who had scurried up to investigate, pulled one out and then thrown it down in disgust, no doubt preferring something more edible than cork!


Rummikub corner - well, it was the Karnezos's who got us into this game in the first place... and they're pretty lethal at it too!


Scrabble corner... in fact it was Super Scrabble corner. We got Rosemary this as part of her Christmas pressie - twice the number of tiles and squares as regular Scrabble... look out Auntie Mary!



A nice (albeit rather blurry) group photo before the Karnezos's headed for home. L to R: Jayne, Anna, Karin, Peter, Nick, Tom, Adam and Peter (Karin and Peter's nephew who was visiting from New Zealand)


On with the Rummikub challenge... everyone got quite hooked on it. We've heard that John and Rosemary have unearthed their own Rummikub game at home which had never been opened. We've also heard that they've been having a game or two before bed since returning home!
