Our Midsummer Night’s Dream
…Slowly gliding back into the harbour after a sweet evening on the lake. There’s nothing like the lake to shed the heat of the day. Once the wake surfers call it a day, the atmosphere quietens and you’re left almost alone with a few other lake lovers. The water was warm, with a gentle breeze, we…

Best month of the year *
…The month of June has always been my favourite month of the year as far back as I can remember. A kind of pinnacle of the year. It’s the month when it starts to get warm, when school starts to slow down (and eventually stops with the ‘promotions’ end of the year event), when the perspective of the…
