It actually made me stop and think why that seemed so strange (apart from the irony of course)...and when I thought back to my life in the UK, I realised that when I went to any of these groups there they were quite impersonal, and that unless you went with friends you didn't really socialise. Here though, after every class most people stop for a coffee or a drink and a chat...I'm not sure whether it's because the ex-pats are in a minority and so stick together more, or whether the lifestyle here is just more suited to socialising, but I must say I have no complaints!
Lots of eating, drinking and singing!
I hope you too have had a festive week!
Thanks for dropping by!
take care of you

ReplyDeleteGlad you're all having a festive time :0)
ReplyDeleteNot one piece of turkey has passed my lips yet, I'm clearly falling behind! Love the way that your groups socialise, it looks like you were having loads of fun!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of turkey! I'm turkey'd out myself as I ate a little bit of leftovers from Thanksgiving that were in our freezer yesterday. Glad you were able to enjoy the company of all those lovely friends, and it makes me happy to know that you all sing together. :o)
ReplyDeleteI love turkey, so it sounds good to me. But that is a lot of turkey in one week! The eating drinking & singing sound fun though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to celebrate the festive season. We were out with friends for a Christmas lunch yesterday - and it was really lovely - the food was delish and the company the best! How delightful rhat you all sing together too - I wish I could sing!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, I love that the red pulls them all together. I love turkey but I don't know if I could manage that much in one week, I wouldn't want to loose my appetite for it before Christmas! x
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun & so good that you are happy there!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a really great time x
