Hi All

Thanks Moo for your Christmas message. We all appreciated your calls; they drew us all together which is the real spirit. Mum and I spent Christmas Day at Glenbrook where the Jack and Fran team presented a great set up for dinner as you can see from the pictures. The Faggions lead by Fran, on this occasion, are so welcoming and inclusive that those on the fringe of the fold feel greatly at home. The olds did not see much of the young ones after lunch as they were so taken up with the pool table. I should have photographed it but you will all see it in time. Connor told me on Sunday that Liam had only beaten him 2-1. There is plenty of competition in those boys. Kate came to lunch on Monday when she and I exchanged gifts. I was the smartest dressed golfer on the course today due to the smart shirt. I cut Aunty Kate and Friz a (stingy) piece of my Rocky Road, today; but I've stashed away all of the coconut ice. Weve all been in touch with each other and the contacts will continue over the holiday period. We are anxiously awaiting Liam's next edition of Blue View News. There will be no more transport problems when we visit Canberra as Lucy is the latest addition to the driving pool.

Happy Holiday All.

Love Dad/Tjilpi/Old Man/Kev & Joan
