The last blog update of 2006 finds us in very good spirits and eagerly awaiting the arrival of Ma and Pa Cursley and James tomorrow evening. They have been in Perth and are coming to Adelaide via Uluru. It will be very very hot at the rock at this time of year so just one night there for them. We are very excited about introducing them to their grandaughter and niece. Amelia has been told that they are coming and promptly fell asleep...
Last night we took Amelia to her first Carols by Candlelight and she must have enjoyed it as she slept through most of it!! She just woke up for her food which was fair enough as Iain and I had been enjoying our picnic and then it was her turn to chow down in the open air!!
We took her to the local Stirling one. The one in the City is fantastic but you have to get there about 7 or 8 hours beforehand to get a good position and in this kind of heat it's hard enough when it's just you but with a nearly 4 week old, not sensible at all. So along we went to the local one which was very good. They did a live nativity enactment with animals from a local farm barn and lots of school kids as well as a choir of people who have fled the Sudan and now live here in SA as refugees. Their music is very different indeed.
Nat and some of her husband, Al's relatives from Lincolnshire joined us, they have 4 lovely boys from 5 to 11 and they had a good time. Here are some photos from our Carolling adventure.
