Our alarms went off at 7am. I woke up excited for a day at London Zoo and went straight in the shower. I popped on a new T-Shirt I'd bought in Zara's New Year sales and some blue jeans. He reminded me I'd need layers and so I chucked a turtle neck jumper on over… Continue reading One frosty, sunny Saturday on Primrose Hill

Life doesn’t stop because you’re house hunting 🏘️
Dave and I's first day of house viewings was a little disheartening, but the second day (crammed full of twice as many viewings) was much more promising.
