Lifestyle
This is not a traditional lifestyle blog. It’s unlikely to show awe-inspiring photos of my picture perfect home for starters, as my home is only picture perfect for about half an hour after a spring clean. It’s a bit messy but very much loved, which is how a home should be. Instead there will be the following: 1. Home improvement, as I would still actually like a picture perfect home (although I’ll really need to hire a cleaner first!). 2. A journey through garden improvements which we’ll both be learning together. 3. Successful recipes (along with some epic fails for comedy value) 4. Restaurant reviews 5. How To tips, which are likely to range from ‘how to fit a light bulb’ to ‘how to survive a zombie apocolypse’.
