This is a great tool to use and it’s going to be really useful for understanding some of the changes that we may be experiencing now. Let’s have…
Holiday at Home
My holiday at home experiment was… interesting! There must be an art to making staying at home feel like a genuine holiday. After all you are still surrounded by jobs and chores so it is difficult to switch off. If you go away you can’t even see that the bathroom floor needs cleaning, the windows…
