A jolly old time in Great Yarmouth

This is the first update in a while...
I booked a house in Newport, Great Yarmouth over the Christmas period for a group of NZers orphaned from their families back in Godzone. All in we had 17 people staying at the house for the full 4 days we were there. There were many different groups of people I know from different times/places, but as is the way with NZers there was generally only 1 or 2 degrees of seperation btween most people, often 2 or 3 different connections. I defy you to say that NZ isn't that small!
All in all we had a great time, the house was cosy, pokey and thankfully warm, especially when we cranked the open fire in the living room.


The guitar came out a few times


Wakey wakey! it's Christmas!

Christmas dinner worked out well, we cooked everything pretty much from scratch which was quite the achievement considering it was probably the first time most of us had taken charge of xmas dinner!


Twister made an appearance...

Great Yarmouth itself deserved a walk around on Boxing day, well maybe it didn't, but we did one anyway.


the boys think they can make it as a boy band now

Things got a little leery later on!

Post xmas, I headed up to Scotland for a nosy which will be the topic of the next post.
