Please excuse - it's Christmas

Mr GeniAus and I send greetings to all our friends as they celebrate the Christmas Season with their loved ones.

At this special time of year my priorities are with my living family so I may be quiet on social media for the next few days. The 21 reasons for my absence are in the photos taken below during Christmas 2016. I can't wait to share more memorable moments with them at our new home this year.

I believe that Rootstech Registrations will open today, 15th Spetember. (US time).  As a Rootstech Ambassador I have a Free Conference Registration to give away. In the next few weeks I will be announcing a competition for this prize so watch this space.
