A glimpse of our streamlined and de-cluttered apartment
Hi everyone Moving home in the UK can be very stressful as it was for us, and it had quite an impact on my physical self and I shall be talking about that in my next post (not to worry, as I’m sorting myself out) but today it’s about how
I’m back and here’s some cruise highlights!
Hello everyone I’m back and I have to say that the day after we returned we wondered if we’d ever been away as we threw ourselves into unpacking the suitcases plus the unpacked boxes we’d left and by the end of the day, we were exhausted! But hey, after another
