I spent Christmas in Adelaide, staying with my uncle Steve and his fiancee Di and her sons Damien and Daniel. Christmas Day was a family gathering at Di's parents' place. Clayton and Linda's baby, Cole, was about six months old and got spoiled rotten, although I reckon Clayton had the most fun. Di's other brother, Bay, and his new wife Anita were there, too. An excellent day! Chums back in England should check out the pictures of the pool and the thermometer.

There are a few shots of a trip around the wineries in the Barossa valley. Di is a great guide on these visits, not least because until recently she was heavily involved in promoting the region's wines. Di called the day to a close when it got to the point that I couldn't tell the difference between an $80 bottle of wine and a $15 dollar bottle...
