I spent Xmas with Shushann, Allan, Xenia and Judie. Lovely succulent turkey and pavlova were the culinary highlights. We had a bit of a sleep and then did some karaoke with Xmas and other songs. A beautiful day with special friends.
So many beautiful, new friends made this year through this wonderful group. Thank you mum for encouraging me in 2013 to join Meetup. It's brought so many wonderful people and experiences into my life through hiking and now photography.
Always an absolute blast with lots to eat. I love it all except the Secret Santa game at the end. With Gavin's highly suspect rules, the game goes on for ever and you always, always have your preferred gift stolen, thus destroying all remnants of festive cheer!! No, only joking. It's part of the annual tradition and wouldn't be the same without it.
So lovely to join the Boting family and friends for their annual Xmas morning ritual of a swim at St James.

Also lovely to see the old xmas carols. Brings back memories from my choir days. The pastor gave a wonderful sermon.
