Heading home for Christmas was surrounded by excitement and joy this year. My sister's and their children, my niece's and nephew would all be home to spend a lovely few days together at my parents house in the country.
The newest addition to the family, Harry aged 11 months was eager to help Pa Ewie in his beloved and 'neat as a pin' vege patch, newly nicknamed 'the cabbage patch kid.' He helped water the strawberries, which were his favourite and pick the lush cos lettuce with his teeny tiny hands. He was seen at times stuffing whatever he picked straight into his mouth but that never bothered Pa Ewie...
