Posted similar thoughts recently myself - I only got the beach once I went to Italy and Greece. Ohhh, soft pebbles, non-stinging sun, no flies, lying on mats instead of towels, and frappes on ice? Sure, I can like the beach when it's like that!<br />Quite like buttons.<br />Love cold hame thick-cut on toast with hot english mustard every morning after Christmas until it's gone.Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-61516523777280829812011-01-05T07:09:14.231+01:002011-01-05T07:09:14.231+01:00Strange about the buttons. I LOVE LOVE LOVE button...Strange about the buttons. I LOVE LOVE LOVE buttons. Especially different eclectic buttons on the one item of clothing. I bought a cardi (yikes!) in Noosa last year which is gorgeous green with lots of different brownish buttons around the neckline. I just adore it.<br /><br />I like swimming but prefer a nice warm pool. Have love/hate relationship with beaches/sand. Can't stand the Sydney beach experience but love it on holidays. The beach on the private island at the Evason Resort in Phuket where we stayed three years ago was heavenly.<br /><br />Ham! My sister got us a 10kg ethically raised monster of a thing this Christmas. I'll be happy to never see another ham as long as I live. I don't mind them in principal but I'll take bacon any day of the week... or speck... or roast pork... or pork ribs. Basically any other type of pork product.deepkickgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680613104887320179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-7984223473256225262011-01-05T03:31:18.459+01:002011-01-05T03:31:18.459+01:00Hey Kath,

Although not so much on clothing, I love to use them on scrapbooking pages.<br />We have bbq eggs and fresh ham for breakfast on Christmas Day. I can take it or leave it the rest of the day, but I love our weber turkey.<br />Beaches, aaahhh Summer. Having lived in both SA and Vic though, you have to experience WA beaches to appreciate the beauty. Crystal clear water and pure white sand. I love the crusty, salted feeling of a morning or evening at the beach.<br />I am exactly the same with flies on faces on tv. I scream at them to wave them away and change channels to avoid the agony.<br />Driving, well we live in WA so you gotta love a long drive to get ANYWHERE. I do love to settle in for a long drive though and am planting the seed for a Nullabor trip in the near future. Takes me back to a childhood journey made every second Christmas.<br />Ok, so now we need a post of al the joy Christmas and holidays brings you or I will be thinking Ba Humbug all day hahaVanessahttp://www.vanessawith3.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-27830979639677212292011-01-05T02:55:50.589+01:002011-01-05T02:55:50.589+01:00Hmmm.

I'm not bothered either way to be honest.<br /><br />Thankfully, since the UK is small copmpared to Oz, the longest distance for me over the holiday period is 75 miles. Nevertheless, due to our total inability to be able to cope with snow, such journeys can be arduous. <br /><br />There are times when I would love to celbrate Chrsitmas in the sun.<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-69386384237592093932011-01-04T14:46:07.319+01:002011-01-04T14:46:07.319+01:00I would have loved to sort out the crate of button...I would have loved to sort out the crate of buttons. The buttons in your pic are quite lovely. How did you cope with Sapph button bangle?<br /><br />Our tastebuds must have evolved from the opposite ends of the spectrum - ham and prawn heads are my favourite food. I am in fact addicted to ham.drbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-39899956891363378192011-01-04T12:35:00.567+01:002011-01-04T12:35:00.567+01:00Welcome back, Kath!

I'm rather envious of your ability to disconnect) but I sure missed you :) <br /><br />Also, quite in agreement with you over several aspects of your post. Buttons bore me, I really really dislike the water and don't even own swimmers, and driving - yes. Necessary evil.

Hunted and killed, toot sweet! Can't have them landing on my chocolate or in my coffee. UGH!<br /><br />I LOVE buttons. My kids spent hours sorting and playing with my button jar on rainy days.<br /><br />Mmmm, weber chicken....Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
