Three years in our home and it was about time to get things really moving with the garden. We started this project in 2019 and had every intention to finish it then but it turned out to be a long drawn out with our gardener showing up unannounced every few weeks and putting in 30 minutes here and 15 minutes there. You may recall that we h[...]
I woke up a few days ago, not quite knowing what day it was and after discovering it was about 100 days to 31 December, I rather impulsively decided to set myself a 100 day fitness challenge.

All of these have been recommendations from friends or people on the internet - and I have to s[...]
Well, I bet this is not the summer we all thought we would have this year. My family and I had planned to travel to Australia via Singapore, but with everything going on, going abroad was completely out of the question in case we got stuck. Staying at an Airbnb or hotel within the UK was not an option either - call us pessimistic but we[...]
