As well as being the New Year, 31 December is also the anniversary of our “getting together” eight years ago!

What a difference a year makes. This time last year we were through the first bottle of bubbles and about to head off for an evening of food, fine wine, cocktails… and the odd cigar or two.  Followed by two very sore heads the next day.

Yay children!

(PS – We love you, Lachie)
