Feasting and Pretty Lights...

I hope you all had or are still having a wonderful Christmas/New Year break! I am concentrating on not rushing madly around for the next few days and going on some lovely long walks...

We had a beautiful Christmas in Bowral in NSW, which is a gorgeous little country town about an hour out of Sydney.
