A month in the country

This month we have:

- breathed in the fresh air of Yokkaichi
- Visited small towns in the countryside and force-fed the locals lamingtons while making them sing Waltzing Matilda
- been to Universal Studios, Osaka theme park for a Christmas- and Elmo-filled day
- hosted an exciting Scrabble day at our house - yes, we are that geeky.

Photos of all can be seen below. Enjoy!
