Xmas day

Den and I had a lovely Xmas day begining with a small gift each of chocolate. We made a picnic and picked up a hire car and drove up to Orewa which was a beautiful beach north of Auckland.

In the evening we had jacket potato (made by me and the microwave), salad and a delicious steak with a red wine and blue cheese sauce (made by Den). We drank rose wine as an aperitif and I had chardonnay with my steak because I am a pleb, and Den had a Merlot because she knows what she's doing!

Denise watched 2 films and I slept through 2 films before retiring to bed!

Couldn't resist buying Den a toblerone as she had been oggling them at every airport we went to!

My gift had a bit more class - I had one for breakfast and one for dinner - perfect!



The full extent of our swimming in the sea!


The beach had a grass verge - perfect for a barbeque
