Christmas and the Boxing Day Test

Forget today's date...here is our much awaited blog post! We've been busy girls!!

Xmas Morning in our Santa Hats!!

Christmas was spent with the lovely Bailey Family in Melbourne. We had a nice day of food (not your average British Christmas of turkey and the trimmings! The Aussies have a more weather appropriate- baring in mind its summer- approach to Christmas with lots of salads, meats etc, etc) Very enjoyable none-the-less! :)

Christmas food!

We opened Christmas pressies from our parents that had made the journey with us (and were thin on wrapping paper at this point!!). We had some pressies from the Baileys which was lovely including a lovely Myer's gift card! :)

We watched films etc with everyone and had a few drinkies which made for a merry day!!

The real fun was to be had on Boxing Day!!!

We got up, made sarnies and headed down to the mighty MCG to watch the 4th Ashes Test (Cricket-Australia Vs England for all you non-sports fans!)

Us as the MCG before play! (taken by a man from Cardiff!!)

It was such a brilliant day! We haven't got our Aus Vs Eng Tee shirts on here and you can't see our Welsh flag so you'll just have to imagine how patriotic we were!! We went with Arthur and Jessy and their daughter Nicole and her boyf came along too!

We were sat in the 'dry area' so no booze in the stands but we managed a cheeky cider and some chips so were very happy indeed!!

As you all know, we thrashed the Aussies it was the lowest total Australia has made against England in 54 Tests between the two countries at the MCG! So we witnessed history in the making! :) Poor Nicole and Boyf Taz went home shortly after lunch! Didn't really enjoy their first ashes test as much as we did!! :P

That's all for now!
