On Sunday, December 11, we invited our friends and "classmates" to join us at the Narrandera Lake Talbot Pool for a time to socialize and say goodbye to those we may not see before we leave. Despite mostly cloudy skies and at times threatening rain we had a great turnout. The temperature was warm and the water was fine. It was a great time and we thank all those who came!Here's a pic of Sam, Jake, Jack and some mates.
That evening we attended a community event called, Carols by Candlelight" at the local park. Lights were strewn about, Santa was there, food and novelty vendors were set up and many local residents were out in force with lawnchairs and candles. As the sun set, the carolling began as local schools and groups performed their best songs to get everyone in the spirit. Students from our school were performing "Christmas Star" under Marie and I and the excitement was in the air.
It was strange but lovely to be sitting in shorts and tees outside and singing Christmas carols amid lush vegetation and warm temperatures. Once again, the St. Joseph's students performed beautifully and we enjoyed hearing and seeing all the other groups perform. It was a fantastic night!

After our group finished their performance we could just sit back adn enjoy the rest of the show! Phew!
