Finding A Great Place To Settle For Your Family

Finding A Great Place To Settle For Your Family

There comes a time where we might wish to settle down and create the family unit we have dreamed of for some time. We might be in various stages of this development, because not everyone gets to experience a careful and planned route. It might be that you’ve been living in an apartment with your spouse and two-year old child, and now you think it’s time to live somewhere more comforting. It might be that your current family home is in an area you wish to move away from.

#MySundaySnapshot – Family Fun At Easter 16/52 (2019)

Welcome to this weeks Easter edition of the #MySundaySnapshot blog series, a relatively recently launched blog-linky which you are very welcome to join. Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part.

Easter has landed at a peculiar point this year. Usually we celebrate Easter during the school holidays. However, the kids were back at school on Monday, thus we’ve enjoyed a slightly shorter week and are currently in the midst of a lengthy weekend. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I don’t mind four-day working weeks in the slightest, especially two of them following a fortnight’s holiday!…

Stunning Garden, Minimal Effort

Creating stunning gardens looks like it takes a lot of work and time. And, yeah some of them do. The intricacies of what to plan and when, repotting, potting up, protecting your sprouting seeds… it takes care and a keen eye for detail.

The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul – Alfred Austin
