January 2023

Stephen, Paulie and guest Michael kicked off the year in no particularly special way. The month did, however, fill up with interesting activities icluding Michael's birthday party, Burns night, and visits to clan Dunlop in Doonan. Olivia in Adelaide and James in Oxford balanced work and life well during an extremely hot Adelaide month and a cold Oxford month (it snowed at the AthoTurnbull home in France, La Cachette, but we found no photos).
