Yes Linda, they are coming over for the weekend and we will all go out to dinner. :-D
Haven't seen grand daughter for ages.

That sounds lovely Sue, surrounded by family, with friends dropping in :-)

We will be at our daughter's for Christmas Day. It's good because people drop in and out all day. The children are engrossed in their new toys and games.

Only three weeks to the shortest day :-D

As I am staying home for Christmas, my daughter, SIL, and grand daughter are going to a posh restaurant for Christmas dinner a week before Christmas.
Quite looking forward to that :-D

He won't Linda I can assure you.

It can be very cold in Melbourne and more so in Tasmania.

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 30 Nov 2014 21:37

I like the snow, but it does cause havoc trying to get around. Can't imagine what it's like in a wheelchair :-D

I've said this before - I was brought up with UK winters, so am used to cold.

However, the coldest I have ever been in my life was while waiting for a train on St. Kilda railway station in Melbourne.

People tend to think Australia is continually hot and sunny. :-D

He will be overjoyed to see the snow again

*Groan*......so much food to get in :-(. I'll be baking mince tarts forever :-(

OH said he well remembers how cold it is in winter :-)

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 30 Nov 2014 21:22

Linda - Sue said to say that she is not talking to you. :-D

Sue - tell your OH to bring warm clothes with him,

thermal vests,
long johns,
thick socks,
gloves, scarves,

I doubt he remembers a British winter :-D

OH said he is on his way over Tec :-D Can you tell Linda I'm not talking to her :-|

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 30 Nov 2014 21:16

I think one big marquee in the garden would be the answer, after all it's summer time there,

only the same as the tent Sue stayed in, only bigger :-D

LindainHerriotCountry Report 30 Nov 2014 21:11

I have not run away, I know sue will be delighted to return the hospitality, I just don't think she was expecting quite so many

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 30 Nov 2014 21:08

Linda has actually run away :- I didn't think she would

SueMaid

SueMaid Report 30 Nov 2014 21:05

I shall tell him that, Tec :-)

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 30 Nov 2014 21:02

There'll be plenty of room in my house for your OH at Christmas Sue - he's very welcome :-D

SueMaid

SueMaid Report 30 Nov 2014 20:54

I turn my back for awhile and look what happens - I now have a motley crew arriving on my doorstep for Christmas :-0 How will I explain this to OH?

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 30 Nov 2014 20:53

No........I can't bear the sight of blood :-D
