Dear all

Just a quick festive post to wish you all a very happy Christmas from the three of us here in Darwin.

We have been listening to Christmas carols as the temperature heads up towards 30C and beyond. We will be leaving shortly for Christmas lunch at the Hilton Doubletree, no doubt details will appear in a future post.

Best wishes

to you all

Love Kim & Mark xx
