Christmas 2011

 Mother harvesting "her" garden. 




We provided the ham, so how else do you get star anise to stick into the skin? Years of watching them fall off during basting, but not this year!















 

Queen Elizabeth Park, Christmas Day. Just perfect for Christmas lunch. Julie & Tim are getting the hang of a hot Christmas Day.












It's not Christmas without pohutukawa.















Tim carves the ham, under Barb's supervision.














And the Otaki Races.  Auntie Val does her good impression of her mother doing the picks, and daughter Faye wasn't bad either.

  1. Now I've seen everything! Mrs Sewell will henceforth have the letters "Hon Eng" displayed after her name. No, not a Honey of England but Honorary Engineer after the brilliant Star Anise solution!
