Hi Mo! Just dropped in to wish you a safe trip home. I suppose you and Steve have been Bali dancing, drinking Singapore slings and just partying with the younger generation. I'll drop back in once you're home with some treats from Canada.

Hi GannieMo. Here is a case of Sauvignon Blanc for your place. I hope you have enjoyed your holiday. Just in case you want to travel more, I also leave you a plane ticket and boarding pass for your first class ride to San Francisco! We depart BWI and head west to tour Napa and Sonoma, then south to Big Sur and the central California coast. We hope to see you onboard. Cheers!

Hello GannieMo. Glad you had such a good holiday. Did you go to London to see your family? (I can't think of any other reason for going there, unless you have never been before!) Look forward to seeing you back in France.
Billy  From Perth
Hey Mo - lovely to 'see' you again. Interested to hear that London hasn't surpassed itself on the weather front...strikes on the trains/public transport/baggage handlers yet?! Enjoy the family gatherings/birthdays and safe trip home. I know we'll be seeing you back in Perth before long...x

Hi Mo: Thanks for popping in to my page. I have a habit of dropping off some page warming gifts, so for you and Steve, a pair of double fudge chocolate beavertail pastries from Ottawa, and to wash them down, a bottle of Pinot Noir from pelle Island, the southern most point in Canada. Enjoy!
Rola  From Perth
Welcome home GannieMo and Steve. Hope you both have a Great Christmas and New Year. It was lovely to meet and chat with you at the Breafast in Fremantle.

Happy holidays GanniMo, I come bearing a little eggnog for the season, its not your everyday eggnog..its a special treat, however its not everyone's cuppa...this if you are into it can float your boat..but if its not for you, float someone else's boat. Let me know which boat was floated. I have a question going back awhile...hope to revive those thoughts and ideas...prior to our pages and pictures being shown, you asked when I'd post my picture since you had formed some ideas on your own...While you were traveling, I asked what your thoughts were...you moved too fast to see, now that the pictures are out for all to see, I wonder if I seemed to be what you thought, or if not, what were you expecting? Not the most important thing going on, yet I am still curious, and hope you can answer.

I have laid out the goodies and the mince pies are warming in the oven. The mulled wine is almost at a simmer. In the south corner The Chippendales have carefully arranged their tinsel and Holly!!!!! ready for lady visitors and in the north corner a small group comprising of dixiechick lookalikes and Michelle Pfiffer wanabees are waiting to greet any of the male species. I have stocked the shelves and Mamacita has kindly sent some egg nog divine.
Venez Nombreuses - or come along alone there is a welcome here for you. Costume (fancy dress) optional but I think dress is essential as it is colder than........ here

Good morning Mo, I'm very well, thank you. We have just had another quite warm day with beautiful blue skies. Oh, don't you wish you were here!!
I had mugs made up with photos of my grandchildren on with their name on the back as part of their Christmas present, plus one each for my daughters. I'm sure they will like them. I drive to Perth on Saturday and stay overnight with my friend then fly out at 7:10am, arriving in Karratha at about 9:00am. I'm really looking forward to it except the long drive to Perth. I'll be there until New Year's Day then fly back to Perth, perhaps with my oldest granddaughter with me.

That sounds great.(Pity you can't hitch a ride on that sleigh, with the man in red!!) I hope she comes back with you. Much as you love all grandchildren, the first is special. So give her lots of grannie love and hugs. She needs them as much as you need to give them. It will give a really good start to the new year for you both.
In the meantime, as first to arrive, you get the pick of the Chippendales - just be wary of the holly!! One of them will take your coat, another serve you your hot mulled wine, yet another feed you your mince pies, enjoy. Must go, as one of them needs help oiling his shoulders and back with a special christmas fragrance oil.

Just be gentle with the one you choose Fiona. Let him soothe away the aches and stresses of pre Christmas. The night is yet young. My hands are oh so soft having smoothed 'several' shoulders with aromatic oils to prepare for your arrival.
I had to draw the line at thighs as I thought the hour a little early but surely the sun has set somewhere in the world so I shall continue with the help of a fortified mulled wine.
Oh dear they all want to be oiled, hate to ask a guest but could you help?

Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say throw cares away! Ding! DONG! Ding! DONG!

Aaaah! 'tis the season. GannieMo, I've dipped in the oil, and OH my! I've left a fuzzy red stocking stuffed with all your favorite things. To unwind, please visit the vineyard's holiday tasting. We have quite a spread prepared... smoked salmon, bagels, assorted veggies and cheeses, roast beef with 'killer' horseradish, chicken bites, sweet potato cake, tim tams, cookies, hot chocolate, tea, coffee and, of course, many wines to taste. Bring your family and friends. The more the merrier! Cheers!

There is a little oil left after the Chips finished, Greg, just ask a dixie chick lookalike or a Michelle Pfiffer wanabee to help I'm sure one (or more) would be willing

Good morning Mo. Oh, what a party, ooooh, WHAT A PARTY!!! Do we have to go home, I'm quite comfortable here. Oh, well, all good things must come to an end, I suppose.

Love your photos, Mo, but some of me? Oh, No. You have done the Albany coastline justice though. Great photos.

Hi GannieMo - Just took a break from wrapping Christmas presents to have a look at your travel photos. Enjoyed them very much - great scenery, sunsets, family, friends, blue bird, & dog standing on sheep! Thanks for the mini tour. I'm leaving a bushel of Florida oranges for you to enjoy. They were freshly picked at the grove across the street. Just squeeze & add champagne for a delicious mimosa for Sunday brunch tomorrow! Please come see me at the beach sometime.

My dear hubby is still basking in the glow of your sweet compliment.Now we can party hearty, let the music take me awayyyyy.
