As usual, Christmas lunch was very nice. After ham, chicken, roast beef, prawns and Persian salad we had this delicious trifle and chocolate cake with home-made ice cream, all washed down with champagne. It was just Manami's family and me.
The day started with Emma coming down to wake me about 5:30. I tried to hold her off till 6, before waking her parents and Hugo. The kids spent the whole morning playing with their new toys. We sat down to lunch about 1pm and were still at table at 4 (with Philip disappearing frequently to take a nap).
Weather was perfect. Not so for the unfortunate Victorians who lost their houses in bushfires and the people in north west England whose houses were inundated after heavy downpours. So distressing.
