Just stumbled across my Kontiki European tour photo from 1991. 11 countries in 31 days - and lots of partying. I’m crouching in front at the far right. Any other Kontiki photos out there?

Every year since 2010 my wife, kids and I have taken a doorstep photo as we head off to my brother’s place for Christmas lunch. In 2022 the four became 5 when our son got a girlfriend.

Our household’s Christmas decorations include a hand knitted Nativity Scene lovingly created by my late mum. We are also in possession of a piano shaped jewellery box that just so happens to be the same scale as the Nativity Scene. How could I not arrange a Nativity Singalong.
