What's On The Menu This Christmas?

Here is a special Christmas menu. Each course comes with a wish from me to you.



Last year I was living in Flinders, Australia. However, this year I couldn't attend the Girls' Annual Christmas Lunch. My good mate Sue sent me some happy snaps from the party. I thought you might enjoy seeing what a jolly group they are.

The festivities were held out-of-outdoors on Linley's deck overlooking Westernport Bay. Note the beautiful arrangement of blue Agapanthus, which grow wild on the Mornington Peninsula.

The table-setting was graced with all of Linley's special touches.

Here are "Les Girls".

They sent me a message.

I was there in spirit!

Robert Louis Stevenson once said:

The best that we find in our travels is an honest friend
He is a fortunate voyager who finds many.

Happy Holidays to dear family and friends, far and near.

    If it's not too cold I will certainly go for beach walks..., but not as planned in faraway and warm South Beach Miami..., local wintery beaches nearby, brrrr.

  5. Somehow, Marjorie, I always feel these amazing connections to you. I've been thinking and talking a lot about Robert Louis Stevenson today with my husband, who has been reading and writing about him a great deal lately. I love this particular quote.

    Your friends look like a fabulous group of gals, and I LOVE this menu.

    Hope you're having beautiful holidays, my friend! xo Gigi
