December. Pig wrestling, sailing and sheep shearing. Mike started playing cricket, and helped our friend Scott Gray round up some pigs. We helped with some sheep shearing(it only took the shearer two minutes to shear a sheep!), and took a final sail with Carl and Patrick Richardson. Santa paid a visit to the local pool, and we had to start packing up to leave. (wah!)
