Surprise!

It’s been a busy five days. Hope everyone’s had a great Christmas and enjoyed Boxing Day. I have been keeping a secret about heading down to Sydney to see my brother Adam, Fay and the Sharpe family. Adam has always enjoyed surprising others so I thought it was time he got a slice of his own medicine. No tears but we did get a few F’s! It worked out great and I loved having Christmas there. Thanks so much to both Adam and Fay for looking after me and the effort they put in to knock up a banging Christmas dinner for everyone. Sorry Mum, it was the best Turkey I’ve ever had on Christmas Day, you must have taught him well!

We did the Aussie thing and soaked up the sun on the beach that day, played golf on Boxing Day and kicked a football round with the kids. It’s been such good fun and even napping watching films on the sofa has been a delight. You don’t get many options like that away from home. I would tell you about Cards Against Humanity in the evening but I’m trying to keep this blog as clean as possible.

As far as travelling blogs go, this one isn’t about an adventure, where to stay or how much things cost. It’s to say a thank you to the family and friends for a wonderful few days. Great to see the lads out in the pub, see the Sharpe boys faces as they realised they had new Nike trainers from Santa and have a right giggle over red wine in the evenings with all the rest.

I’m off to the Philippines to meet some of my best mates now.

Have a great New Years everyone!
