We've been busy as usual, working hard to get the guest suite up for our Christmas houseful!
Christmas with all the family was wonderful. A couple of weekends before everyone arrived we dispatched one of our pigs (they are about 80% javali or wild boar- not especially big, but that suits us in a way as they are easy to deal with.
On Christmas day we did a four bird roast (duck, chicken, goose, turkey)
We've been talking about making a piece of art for the house entrance and on one particularly wet and miserable day thought it would be nice to do something as a family.
We picked up some acrylic paints from one of the local chinese stores and brought in a piece of plasterboard.
We each took it in turns to draw around each others silhouettes with a pencil onto the board.
then we all took some brushes and colours and filled in the shapes
none of us were quite sure what the end result would be like, but we were hoping you would be able to make out our shapes at the end
we couldn't imagine how amazing the final picture would look
it now has pride of place on the wall
and we have a lovely lasting memory of our family Christmas
If you look closely you can make out most of us in some form or another!
