Chris and I have recently moved into our Dream Forever Home. We know it’s our forever home because there’s not a chance in hell it would ever sell again – it was on the market for about 4 years before us suckers came along. It’s a lovely house with a stunning view in a fabulously […]
Read more "First meeting with the architect"I started my year as a proper commuter to London shivering on Gravesend station on 4th January 2016.

Read more "Life as a London commuter: what I learnt during a year of travel misery and living for the small-wins"We love wellies in this family, love them.
