It is late here and everyone but me is tucked in bed resting up for tomorrow and all the excitement and activity that comes when family and friends gather to celebrate Christmas. It’s no surprise to me that I am still awake. I usually am on nights like this.
This week has been a whirl of going and doing right from the time we arrived late last Sunday and sleep has been even more scarce for me than normal. I think I will rest when we are finally home again in Cornwall next week.
For now spending time with the people I love is well worth missing a bit of sleep and with a little South Island sheep like the one on the Christmas tree above, I can imagine I am counting them in the field of New Zealand buttercups below.
For all who celebrate during this Christmas season, I hope you have the company of those you love around you now. Have a safe and Happy Christmas and I will be back in a few days.

Your words soothe me like nothing else I have found. Keep up the good work my friend and enjoy the love of friends and family this holiday season!
What an awesome trip you’ve had. it must seem like one big fantastic dream that you don’t want to wake up from. I’m a bit late in wishing but I hope your Christmas at home has been all that you wanted it to be. Is it the first time John has been here, in Atlanta?
