Christmas day was rather hectic at the manse. Graeme and I went from one chapel to the other and held 3 services between 8.00am and 11.30am. Although I had planned on making something nice to eat for Christmas day, everything was so topsy turvey that we all agreed that I could just make beef curry and rice, and we had tinned strawberries and ice cream for pudding.
At 3.00 pm, just as I was about to go upstairs and collapse on my bed for an afternoon nap, the door bell rang... Danny's parents had come to share Christmas dinner with us... Yikes! They had brought a big bowl of roast pork and potatoes. I quickly cooked some frozen veggies to add to their contribution, and heated a Christmas pudding that was sent to us as a gift. The afternoon was spent chatting with them.
I tried to take a photo of Dash, our youngest cat. Calvin, the middle cat was just moving out of the picture. The result -"a tibby with one l-o-n-g tail."
We are getting used to having a baby in the home. Arthur is very comfortable with Hannah, as you can see from these photos taken on New Year's day at the Sandy Bay chapel.
Here are a few photos of Hannah taken over the past few days.
Hannah is super cute!! Looking forward to watching her grow through your blog.
ReplyDeleteI was given a chunk of tuna when we first arrived on St Helena which I left in the freezer for ages until I felt guilty and we ended up loving it - but that's quite different from crayfish tails! Glad no one ever *blessed* us with those :)
Lovely baby - look at that wonderful cap of black hair! Arthur does look comfortable in his new role. That is great!
