'It is the time to ignite our inner fire and explore our own creativity, passions and dreams.
'As we bask in the sunlit hours, friends and families come together; playing, connecting, being present. Embracing the joy to be found in even the most fleeting of moments and shared experiences.
'Our lives flourish when we cherish the bonds of love and friendship.
'So open your hearts; sing, dance, play.
'The days are still long, so simply love, and be loved.'

Bec Judd offers to sell her luxe Melbourne mansion for a staggering $70m
Bec Judd has named the price it would take to sell her family home in Melbourne's Brighton. The AFL WAG took to social media on Sunday to share an image from the lavish property she shares with husband Chris, and their four children. In the accompanying caption, the 42-year-old revealed the eye-watering amount it would take her family to relocate from the desirable bayside property. 'No, we are not selling. But if somebody wants to pay 10 times market rates, then sure, it's all yours,' she wrote. Bec and Chris moved into the $7.3million mansion in December 2019. They have since conducted extensive renovation work on the property, increasing its value, including installing an extra bedroom and rumpus room. The power couple originally purchased the sprawling house in March 2018, and commenced a complete makeover before moving in. A gallery of photos shared to Instagram showed the backyard pool area under construction. After building was completed, the space was transformed into an entertainment oasis, with rendered rock, a magnesium pool and an outdoor kitchen. Other improvements on the lavish property include replacing the mansion's aesthetic and apricot colour palette with stylish greys and blacks, adding modern touches like gold brass fittings, marble and steel doors. The couple kept the home's defining architectural feature, its arches, and used this shape as a theme throughout the interior. Also inside the home is a gym, and a wet bar complete with a snooker table. Highlights include an ensuite bathroom featuring a giant arch-shaped mirror that reflects the Spanish colonial architecture. The influencer's fondness for gold brass fittings, black frames and marble continues in the bathrooms. 'No, we are not selling. But if somebody wants to pay 10 times market rates, then sure, it's all yours,' she wrote Bec and Chris share four children; daughter Billie, 11, son Oscar, 14, and twins Darcy and Tom, nine. It follows reports the pair sold their beautiful renovated Mornington Peninsula property, which was listed on the market for $2.85million to $3million. In May, Bec and Chris finalised the sale of the stunning property for an undisclosed sum. Marshall White Stonnington director Ben Veith oversaw the sale and told the Judds were happy with the process, labelling it a 'good result'. He added Bec had had significant input into the renovation process of the beloved property: 'This was genuinely designed by Bec, and it speaks for itself.' They first purchased the Arthur's Seat property in 2016 and spent several years turning the 1970s-built brick house into a family retreat, with the help of The Melbourne Builder & Co.
