Christmas Eve dinner is with James and Jackie at their Adelaide home. Their address was 12 Tomsey, ours was 16 Tomsey. Carol's Christmas pudding is finally finished. We walk a few blocks, catch the free bus to the East side, and then walk a few more blocks to the house. It has been a marvelous day; comfortably cool for this time of year. A summer Christmas tree adorns the patio.
Australian Christmas begins with their incredible prawns. They are always so good. James opens a bottle of his first vintage 1997 cabernet. We've previously enjoyed the 98, 99, 00 and 01 and all have been magnificent.
For Oz, this is a big turkey. James plates huge portions.
Good wine, good friends, good food and a Christmas pudding. Doesn't get much better.
