Reflections On A Momentous Year
This was an extraordinary year in many respects. Having just returned from a month in Australia and seeing our daughter so happy and fulfilled as a mother has been our greatest gift. Our grandson - we are biased i know - is utterly enchanting and so calm and peaceful.
