This last month has been a bit of a whirlwind for us - how about you?

We had our annual Children’s Christmas Brunch earlier in the month. Replete with fun, lots of food, a magician, storytelling, and of course there was a visit from the man of the month himself, Santa - in his sleigh no less!

We wish you all and your families a Merry Christmas full of joy and happiness.

Vi auguriamo a voi tutti e anche alle vostre famiglie in Buon Natale pieno di gioia e felicità.
