Christmas Eve 2007

The weather was absolutely superb

The citrus fruit trees in the garden was absolutely full of fruit, we had fresh grapefruit fresh orange juice every morning for breakfast

We took a leisurely drive around Rotunda admiring all the Christmas decorations, Wow what a spectacular array of Christmas decorations

we had never seen anything like this before

Christmas Day morning we went to Englewood Beach the weather and the festive atmosphere was absolutely perfect

on the way back from the beach we stopped and watch the Dolphins play in the Bay.

*****************************************************

Duke & Bobbet the Alligators, are very shy and timid as it is against federal law to feed and harass alligators so they are no threat to us

They are very happy to live in the lake's waterways, and lay on the water banks during the day

Winthrop the bird can be seen around the house he's a bit of a cheeky bird he just likes to see what is going on

and Bubbles the Terrapin can also be seen sleeping on the bank of the lake

Duke & Bobbet's babies

have been named by Adam age 11 From west Yorkshire UK

He has named them Frazer & John.

You can have Fresh Grapefruit And Orange juice when in season from our trees at Sunset dream villa

We just love our garden so much it is hard for me not to keep buying new plants
