Christmas Candles

Good morning and welcome to my blog, I can't believe it but it's the school holiday break again.  It's nice having the boys home as Liam is studying for his end of year exams.  We've had nothing but rain these last six days.  Hopefully the weather will improve that we can spend some time up at our beach house before the boys go back.   Liam spent 6 days in Singapore with my husband at the start of the holidays where they attend the Formula One Grand Prix.  As Singapore is so close to the Equator it was very hot, day and night.  It was a great time to have a male bonding holiday.

Today is Wednesday which means is another
