February Review '19
As February arrived, so did the winter! Airports were closed, snow blanketed areas of the country and the temperatures dropped to the lowest of the year.
This didn't stop the socialites of the group heading out for an evening on the town though! Dry-January was well and truly put to rest as Julia and Ivan celebrated birthdays!
