Our Week Ahead ~ Mon 20 Feb 2017

Summer has certainly arrived late in our region - the hot balmy weather most hoped for over the Christmas break didn't happen - we are having days with significant heat in them now.
(Perfect weather to be at the beach, the lake, lounging in the pool ....... We, however, are doing scheduled learning, painting the house, stacking away firewood for winter and reorganising our very scruffy shrub gardens; and, enjoying visiting family!)
