Back to School Info
The days are getting shorter and while the leaves have not yet turned colour, the unseasonably cool weather is shifting attention to September and the start of school.

This brings to mind the old commercial where you see the parents gleefully singing
“It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”
