2016 - Week 53 - December 26 - January 1, 2017

Last week of the year. Friends came to stay and introduced us to the board game Catan ,made us a rum based Gorkha Punch and gave us a pamphlet to help us identify birds in our environment.  

Marinated chicken, paneer and vegetables for a barbeque on 31st night for guests. The menu included potato salad with bacon bits, mushroom soup, pork saugages and caramel custard for dessert.
Made these little paper boxes and put pieces of chocolate in them for the guests.

53 weeks.It's been a good year 2016. What a coincidence that 53 weeks have come to an end on the 1st of January 2017 so I can wish you a Happy new Year.

Warming ones feet at the bonfire. Nights are chilly and perfect for a bonfire and a barbeque.
