It has been a busy month. A wonderfully busy month. A month filled with new people, new clients, new ideas and (of course) a new baby goat. It is a month where school is "winding down" …
On an average Sunday, long after the chores are completed, you can find our brood scattered around the property, elbows deep in adventures and fun. My eldest daughter prefers somewhere warm and quiet, without a lot …
