This is the temporary Christmas Tree outside last year. It was too hot to sit inside with our decorations and Christmas Tree without air-con, so had to improvise – even though our garden looks like a desert in the 40 Deg C heat! We’re renovating and guess what? It’s going to be 41 Deg C tomorrow, so this time we’re taking no chances and decamping to my daughter’s air-con, south of Perth.
I wanted to wish you all a very happy and safe christmas, spent with those you love. May 2026 bring you all you need and maybe something you wish for too.
Thanks for reading my humble words.
