Christmas was at home in Yagoona (my hometown, out in the western suburbs of Sydney) this year – which meant we could avoid the always-horrible Christmas Day traffic – with friends and family. The weather was perfect, the food was good, and the company sensational. Couldn’t have asked for much more than that!

Pretty much my favourite part of Christmas.

Mum also made this, home-made chocolate ice-cream.
