Our first Christmas in our new home after moving in on the 10th December we finally got there. Above is my only attempt at Christmas decorations.
Julian Burgess owner of Southern Built Homes and Aaron the everything man who did so much extra for us. We are so grateful to SBH for building our dream home and their team of contractors who never made us feel like a nuisance (I am sure we where at times) and never hesitated to explain things to us.This gratitude was not extended to Western Power who took 10 days after moving in to connect our power. We got quite creative stepping over power cords zigzagging on the floor.
The lovely Jenny who worked in the SBH's shop and was always so helpful.
Our first Christmas here was relaxed and laid back. No table settings or Christmas decorations. Both daughters and all their families joined us for lunch, 15 altogether, most driving down from Perth that morning and staying the night. Lunch was at 3 oclock so we didn't feel like tea. Our lovely new neighbors invited us over for breakfast with other neighbors which was really lovely to be included and made to feel so welcome. A wonderful Christmas day.
The great grandkids had a good time, can you see the men out on the verandah with a row of empty corona's. A few of us took the little ones down to the Donnybrook fun park after lunch to walk of our lunch and their energy. The back verandah got a good workout later that night with about 10 of us out there enjoying the evening breeze, proved strong and stable.
We still have work to do, ie painting doors, floor coverings and in autumn the gardens a new challenge and one I am looking forward to.
Sorry I didn't get to wish you a merry Christmas but I do wish you all a wonderful, exciting and full of adventure New Year. Enjoy the holidays and if you are on the roads stay safe.
Best Wishes
Jacky
