For the past week and a half (with another week and a half to go) my family has been in the US visiting family. It’s been 3 years since we last visited our homeland so it’s been really nice and as you might imagine I’ve been taking lots of photos here!

But only 10 photos can make it into my top 10, and so here they are, in descending order. Also, I have a special treat for everyone – for a limited time you can buy...
