A New Year, A New Home
There’s nothing like moving house to remind me that I have the upper body strength of a toddler and I’m insanely unfit.

A Basic Christmas
“At the beginning of December I’m going to go all out with the Christmas decorations,” I said to The Bloke last month.
We’re moving house at the beginning of January and so it is going to be the last Christmas we have here. I had every intention of making a huge effort – Christmas over the last few years has been haphazard and last-minute and both The Bloke and I have felt like we’ve just gone…
