So when Christmas is done, Boxing Day is another 'family day'. Pip & Jack made it out to Mulligans Bar, as did Kirsten & Adrian, their kids, and visitors from Antrim, and Jack's parents. A gentle evening, sitting in the dying sunshine, cool drinks in hand, while we wait for the barbecue. What could be finer?
Christmas - what does it mean to us? Well, I won't attempt to speak for the others, but to me it means my family gathers and we share; share company, good humour, drinks, fine food, tell tall tales, remember years gone by, and usually catch up with other family, especially the nearby cousins.
2014 is no different. Just look for yourselves.
Of course, we all took photos, so here is Jayne's snap:
And here are snaps from Sarah-Rose:
