With the first half of the year that slipped by us ever so subtly but ever so fast, we have the school holidays taking place in July.
July is the ideal month to take some much needed down time to rest and re-charge the batteries.
It is also the ideal opportunity to re-connect with loved ones and spend some quality time together.
