Living in Australia, we never get to experience that traditional cold and snowy Christmas enjoyed by our Northern Hemisphere friends. Perhaps that’s why we have something called Christmas in July? A roast with all the trimmings, a Christmas pudding and mulled wine all just make more sense in Winter. And it’s kind of fun to […]
A Few Of My Favourite Christmas Things!

Christmas Cracker Table Runner for Thermoweb
We’re gearing up for a hot, sunny Christmas Down Under. Think salads and prawns, baked ham and trifle! Having a Summer Christmas doesn’t seem that strange to me (being that it’s all we’ve ever known in the Southern Hemisphere). But it does feel odd singing about the snow, thinking about hot chocolates by the fire […]
