Thriving your way
Coronoa virus, Covid-19, social distancing, shielding, lockdown. You probably hadn’t heard of these words a few months ago, and now they’re impacting our lives in so many ways. And are likely to change our future in ways we couldn’t have imagined a few weeks ago. I started working at home on Tuesday 17th March and my husband two days later. The last day of school was on 20th, and so the next day our stay Continue Reading …
I love our house and I find it hard to believe we’ve been here just 7 years. I still revel in the extra space we have inside and out compared to our previous house.
