Ways to Get Natural Lighting into your Home

Many homes in the UK were not built with natural light in mind, especially if you don’t have a south-facing garden or a big bright house. Most of us either live in a row of houses packed tightly together by the property developers or in a block or surrounded by a big block of flats. We can’t just pick up our house and turn it in the direction of the sun or relocate, especially as good properties go very quickly or are not within our financial reach. With that in mind, I have a few ways for you to get natural light into your home.

If your newly purchased home came with unhappy surprises such as cracks, leaks, broken mechanical systems, or defects, the financial obligation might not be yours alone.

What is a Buddy Dog? Discovery Day

Some of you may know that we had Mabel since October 2020. She is our daughter’s buddy dog from Guide Dogs. I have not blogged or told many people about Ms C’s eye condition. It took us many years before we had a diagnosis for her in December 2019. It was not promising for her and then we had the Covid lockdown situation so it was a tough year for her. She had to miss most of her year 6 and jump into year 7 in a new school with none of her primary school buddies. Then with more lockdown and isolation, she had to miss a lot of school.
