Boxing day with Doug and Claudia and Lucus

I went to Doug and Claudia for lunch today and it was yet another day of lots of good food.  They cooked a huge ham with pineapple and glazed cherries and it was divine.  It was followed by Xmas pudding and brandy butter.  Yum!  Lucus is growing up very fast and is as photogenic as always.  The family has adopted Claudia's mum's dog, Cricket, who is very sweet natured and cute as you can see from the photo below.

Lucas

I went fishing with Doug and Claudia off their boat. Lucas caught a fish within two minutes, I caught nothing in three hours. Go figure. I'm just not much of a fisherman. But its still fun. We got caught in the middle of a big storm so I kept my camera under wraps - but managed to snap a couple of Lucas. He's as adorable as ever .
