Believe me when I say that I'm not complaining, but is anyone else concerned that we're seeing multiple days of +5oC or more temperatures?
Things to look forward to in February:
- Quinzee camping with Girl Guides, if the spring-like weather will allow it.
- Family day adventures
- Thinking Day campfire singing at the mall (Feb 18)
- Remembering the good times with Aunt Rosemary and Nanny Vivian
- Febfest and the polar plunge, if the spring-like weather will allow it.
- and lots more...
