Bondi Beach ... not

Jealous of our antipodean cousins all I could manage for a festive season on the beach was a 6 mile jaunt along the beach at Formby and back thru the pine woods. No BBQ for us just a flask of coffee laced with rum and a large chunk of christmas cake equally laced with brandy. Belated festive greetings to you all.
