Good morning! Welcome to the week everybody. I feel ready for it (sort of), do you? I wanted to say thank you at the start of today’s post for the notes that were left on Facebook and on twitter with regards to my old school friend, Julie, passing away in a road traffic accident. I [...]

Last Thursday morning, as removal men packed up a great deal of our lives, Robert & I had to leave the busyness that was our soon to be old house and make our way over to the new house for the inventory to take place. The inventory is a very important part of renting a [...]
