Of course- looking back it is easy to say that. :)<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing pictures of your holiday! It looks delightful and your grandchildren are too cute. The holiday sounds so special and I think it is cool that you got to spend time in a summer environment for Christmas!

What adorable grandchildren you have! Australia is one of the places in the world (outside my country) that I wanted to visit. Such a beautiful place! Happy 2013!<br /><br />Hi Nancy, blogger refused to post your comment (I don’t know why) so I decided to post it myself! Australia was also on our ‘must visit one day’ list, but we had no real intention of going and then our son moved there! Six years ago, he was living and working in the UK but everything changed when he was offered a job in Adelaide. Thank you for all your good wishes.
