Croquet Christmas Party

 

 

 

 

 


Thought we would try something different this year (I am Social Sec, for my sins) so we had our Christmas lunch on the beach at Blackmans Bay. The weather could have been a bit kinder but the rain stayed away and as you can see from the photos, we still managed to sort of play croquet on the sand, and some of them played Boule, Petonque or Bocce,depending on where you come from!!

Father Christmas (alias Peter) kayaked in from the South Pole (no, not the North this time) and bought us all presents. I got to sit on his knee (under Ken's watchful supervision!)

After the anti pasto platters came the stuffed duck (done by Sue, not me!) the beautiful first seasons Pink Eyes (potatoes to those uninitiated) and salads. All this was followed by a pavlova covered in fresh raspberries, strawberries and blueberries, and a Choc. Jaffa Mousse cake, which was delicious. And all this for just $10 per head, I ask you, what more can you wish for?

Don't think one could ask for more.
It doesn't look like Christmas, but certainly looks like you were having fun.
