Mid-winter? You have to be kidding!
Dear Weather Gods, THANK YOU for listening and blessing the second week of the school holidays with such AMAZING weather! It has been so easy to enjoy this week with such fine weather days.

Perfect Friday Out and About

Chez Lee has enjoyed a blogging break due to good weather, no Kindi, the arrival of our beloved pianos (resulting in lots of late night jamming sessions!) and making the most of the light evenings. It’s so brilliant not having to be out the door by a predetermined time and family harmony is so much…
