2020 December - Christmas decorations placed annually on the ledge (half way up the stairs) while the Christmas tree is in the lounge. Delma is big-on the true meaning of the birth of Jesus and the ledge display illustrates this and has an emphasis on the nativity. This year our family with us for a number of days the first week of January as it is the other set of family's turn. This means every second year we have a quiet Christmas lunch with Panellist of the young writers retirees' Tony and Jerri De Kevitt. Tony was a RAAF VIP Pilot and Jerri the rank of Squadron Leader (logistics).
