I am learning more and more to be grateful for the simple little things. Simplicity as in growing our own veg, searching for wildflowers with the children (or Sam it's the biggest stones!), fishing trips down the river with daddy, buying clothes and homewares from the charity shop, chopping up Sam's old clothes and making something for Bella to wear. Scott makes furniture and you name it from local oak and works hard in the garden. These are things 6 years ago, whilst sat at a desk in an I.T. company I'd never thought we'd be doing. But now, they make up our days and I for one am absolutely grateful to be here.
