We’ve been living back at home for a week now and though things are still a bit up in the air as the kitchen isn’t completely finished and we are currently living with plywood temporary flooring throughout the downstairs, it’s good to be back in our own house and gaining some normality.

Paul (and the kids of course) usually start the day by having a workout with Joe Wicks from which they then cool down with drinks, snacks, and the latest episode of Newsround.
