We're settled in at Albany, on the WA south coast. We intend to stay here until the beginning of March, so we've joined up at the local golf club, who conveniently offer 3 month memberships. We're now playing 3 times a week each - men's day Wednesday, ladies on Thursday, and both of us play on Saturday and Sunday. It's really nice to be part of a club again, and the course is a good test, especially when the wind howls off the bay.
Unfortunately the weather hasn't been very pleasant so far here. Even though temperatures in Perth, 400km north-west, have been hitting 40 degrees, here on the south coast we've been lucky to see half that, with cloudy skies, a cold wind and quite a few showers. Apart from our golf days, the weather has kept us hanging around the van most of the time.
Despite the weather, we had a very pleasant Christmas Day. John rustled up a scrumptious roast lunch with ham, turkey and duck (leftovers will provide sandwiches for a week) followed by fresh raspberries. He also produced a very fancy bottle of chilled champagne for us to toast Christmas and Wendy's birthday.
We wish everyone the compliments of the season, and hope that your Christmas was a joyful one.
