Weekend.

 I love a frangipani floating in a bowl of water. It screams summer.
My Mum's still here and we've been getting into the Festive Spirit.
Vegetarians Avert your eyes! Because we had ourselves some lamb chops.
They were prohibitively 'spenny at $42 a kilo but we lived on the edge and ate them anyway. 
It is after all Christmas.
 Pomegranates are always a bit Christmassy
Threw on this frock and hotfooted it to my Mum's extended family Christmas Party
 My Aunt has the most beautiful garden. Seriously, it is Stunning, look:
 Love this photo of my Uncle and my little boy from yesterday
 I love a family get together so much. 
 Two more sleeps!
 Having friends for lunch today. Can't wait.

    Beautiful dress, and I think this neclace is my very favourite one. What lovely gardens and to think we here in Toronto are in the midst of an ice storm! Merry Christmas.

    Wow, I love your blue and white dress, so perfect for this summer heat, and those frangipani look fantastic with blue and white china. Beautifully matched all round! Aunt's garden is amazing - obviously it runs in the family, and little boy is quite the little man and still totally cute. Merry Christmas to you and yours, FF xox

    Hope you had boiled new potatoes in their jackets with butter and mint sauce with those lamb chops.

    my mum endorses frangipanis in bowls of water. they are her favorite flower and inhabit the kitchen, dining room and lounge room. I hope you have a fabulous Christmas FF, with plenty of ham, pudding and sequins.

    Love the blue dress - so fresh. The train set would have kept the toddler entranced for hours I expect. And the garden… sigh.
    Couldn't look at the food though - I've had the worst food poisoning overnight. Broke a 45 year vomit free streak. (I never vomit) Think it was scallops at hubby's work do. Sipping sweet tea now and feeling weak. Enjoy a lovely, festive and fun filled Christmas with the golfing prodigy
    and Mr FF. - Tonkath

    You're right about the frangipanis ..Ill pick some off the tree in the garden and float them .

    its cooled down in Sydney which is good for me as I STILL have some food shopping to do ..though compared to my cousins' Christmas in Toronto (power down as the result of an ice storm) it's relatively easy going
