It was a most splendid day! The weather turned on a grand display for us, the musicians sang and played christmas and other stuff and much fun was had.
The great Australian cake eating tradition was on board and by 4.30pm everything was gone (apart from some secret goodies that appear to have been hidden in the refrigerator for later) ... 
PS .... the 'beverages' were in the cake, the rest was unspiked punch (I think unspiked, don't know for sure!), tea, coffee and other associated bubblers.
Now to get ready for Christmas!
good looking cakes back there Tas... I LOVE mint leaves
sounds like you had a very successful event
19 days to Christmas Eve
I've still got only 2 presents for 12 people!
Debra, I've bought nothing yet. I had 2 presents that I bought during the year,
but i'm second-guessing myself whether they'll actually like them now.
Thinking of leaving town
And I think Mlor has bought at least 8 presents for the dog...........but ya didn't
hear it from me
