Video unsuccessful

so these are the photos taken round the table

I put these on Facebook so the rest of the family could see them.

Fresh broad beans, peas and runner beans all from my garden, best peas I have ever had, I am reminded of Frau Junge, cycling off to the "Gatte" to water every day, that's me at the moment!

But the weather is so hot, you have to be dedicated but occasionally I am rewarded by a lovely bowl of raspberries or even black currants to make into my favourite jam!

So, Christmas 2015 Hobart, Tasmania

It was a Scorcher!

And the Turkey started like this

and ended like this

The mince pies and Christmas Pudding were much appreciated too.

No 2 Mercer Street.

So, last night was the official House Warming Dinner at No 2 Mercer Street, Tim and Mandie's new abode for the next few months!

The flat was much nicer than Ken, Heidi, Kiya and I had imagined, it is tastefully decorated, and because of the very high ceilings it appears bigger probably than it really is.   It already looked cosy and inviting, with a few of the Newham favourite pictures and pieces round the place.   It consists of two bedrooms (one looks like a mini workshop as Tim couldn't be without a few of his favourite "toys" and has already (and they have only been there since Christmas Eve) made a built-in wardrobe in their bedroom.

The living/kitchen area is all in one, here are the three photos I took with my new IPhone (Christmas present to me from Ken and I!)
