If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I love decorating for different seasons, not just for Christmas!

OK, with a tiny bit of Halloween thrown in for the kids…

Well, didn’t 2020 just take the Jumanji game to a whole new level?! Before I start this post, I just want to say that I hope you and nearest and dearest have been able to keep safe and well. And second of all, I genuinely hope you’ve come out of this with a job to return to now we’re gradually…

Who doesn’t love photos? What better way of reliving some of those special moments in our lives? We’ve got loads of them. Most of them on our phone, a LOT of them on display but … loads of them in boxes too!! I mean, what a waste of memories! Of course we’ve got our traditional picture frames around the house,…
