There’s no two ways about it, it was one occasion after another this week. We met up with our Super Leisure Group friends on Tuesday for a Christmas Lunch. On Wednesday the pair of us had a Christmas break-up at our respective club meetings. Then it was double trouble on Friday, starting with a BBQ Lunch for the Cancer Society Volunteers. While the sausages and meat patties were cooking on the BBQ, the volunteers were filling up the table with all sorts of other dishes.
Friday was a “big night out” with the Menz Shed members and spouses, and quite a number met at the local Cobb and Co Restaurant for dinner.
After the meal it was announced that Stafford had been awarded “Shedder of the Year” by popular vote. Well done, Stafford. President Paul presented the plaque.

Getting in the Christmas spirit – Dot and Derek, and us
Saturday was a rest day as far as social activities went, so we took advantage of a free day to join the hoards shopping for Christmas. Phew – thank goodness that job is done. Sunday was a rather special day when we caught up with family. Daughter Nicky had arranged for us to meet up at the Strong Room Restaurant in Feilding for lunch.
The meals were very nice and it was great to catch up with them again. The waitress kindly took a couple of snaps for me.

Feilding is a lovely little town with a handsome clock tower in the town centre and has been voted 'NZ's Most Beautiful Town' an astonishing 16 times.
Friendly Feilding
Next week won’t be quite so busy, with only one social outing to contend with. No doubt there will be last minute shopping to do for perishables, and some preparation and cooking to do for the Christmas menu. Then we can settle down for a low key Christmas Day here at home before we tootle off in the caravan.
