Winter Solstice 2015

The winter solstice is always a time I slow down and reflect.  It's been an exhausting year so far, but with some wonderful days. I am made happy every time I remember the day in March when my Jesse married his Fiona on the balcony of the Melbourne Town Hall

Here is the whole new extended family on the Town Hall balcony.
