Plenty of days filled with adventure before Stephen ends the month with a birthday

The clan have a busy month highlighted by Paulie's wine tour trip with a her client (who she has previously joined on wine tours to Margaret River in 2017 and the Yarra in 2018) and to South Australia and Stephen's birthday. Nick is in Bangalow in New South Wales, James enters another lock down as COVID kicks off again in England, Olivia works at Redcliffe Hospital and Stephen and Paulie continue working for their client.
