to Mrs BB. The name escapes me now but I relcal how odd it was to see Christmas street decorations illuminated by bright sunshine.On several occasions we discussed the great Antipodean Christmas dilemma with our hosts: do you prog up with seasonal, if unsuitable, food at a traditional dinner with plum pud and crackers or do you take a coolie box and a load of tinnies (now called frosties I understand) down to the beach. There is no consensus it remains a dilemma.
