Happy New Year & thank you

Happy New Year from the Millers and Rasmussens in Canberra. YIC enjoyed New Year's Eve with some excellent pizza from Peter and Alison followed by Alison's special chocolate cake. At the dinner table, all the children wanted their parents to sit next to them. YIC felt slightly left out, until his good friend Mr Hahn (premium light) volunteered to sit next to him. Here are the troops watching Alison cut the cake.

When YIC asked them for some cheesy grins, he got this. Really. Happy New Year.

YIC is now leaving Australia for New Zealand. It just remains necessary for YIC to thank all those people who have showed him such wonderful hospitality during his time here:

Peter & Alison, Patrick, Tristan & Natalie - in Canberra

Rob & Gill - in Melbourne

Rick, Kiz, Tasman & Nyah - in Hobart

John & Barbara - at Malua Bay

Mike, Michelle, Callum & Declan - waterskiing on the reservoir

Cheerio folks. You are welcome in Tynemouth any day.
