I think I replied to another of your home-series articles about our house moves, mostly because of the children and schooling. I never ever wanted to home educate, but here we are, 14 years after my first baby; we are HE, our 12-year-old and considering doing the same for the eldest, so we can be free and live/travel wherever and whenever we want.
Only that I really love where we are now, and I don’t want to move again 😶🌫️ Even though we are in the smallest space we’ve ever had (we also love open plan, and we now have a tiny cottage), the location is so much more important for me, and this is good.
It’s not zombie-apocalypse proof, but we can’t have it all…! 😁🫠
Ahh, thank you. I actually don't feel sad or like I'm hurting... I've moved through that stage. Now, it's a calm acceptance of home being spread across two places and working out how I can have lots of time in Somerset, still, while living mostly in London x
Oh sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you sensed me hurting. It made you feel sad... sorry. It's such a tricky one to navigate - moving, as a couple of family, when you're not necessarily on the same page. I hope the solution comes to light x
Thanks Annie 🩷 yes, I’m sure it will. I also need to be in London for work, but I do understand my husband’s need to be in nature more - I want it too, but community and work is here and I’m not ready to leave it again (we left it for Brighton, mind you, the first time - worst year of my life, and it was my idea…!)
I am in deep learning (again!!) about home this year and what it means, and where we need to be to make us happy and how two homes might be how we do this next chapter of our life. One in a city and one in lovely Frome! I am loving the adventure of doing things differently and experimenting with what works...and what works now and what can work in the future. And thinking about what my husband and I need...and what our children need. So much learning and listening and feeling into it all. I love all that you are sharing about your journey too. Thank you as always for your honesty and openness xx
Thank you Emily, I also appreciate all that you share about home, love, movement…. The more we hear about these things, the easier it is to find comfort in our own wonky situations xxxx
I hope you find what you’re looking for 💯🤍
Reading this, I feel the hurt so much.

I know, totally my hurt 🤍 Probably because my husband is desperate to move and felt it whilst reading 🤍

It was lovely to read your to and fro & back and forth on home, belonging and what you and your kids need, rather than want.
Adore the interior too! 💌
thank you x
Your house is so beautiful. I love open plan living... The flow of light thru the home is glorious! 🤗🌈
thank you xx
A builder with a good aesthetic & attention to detail - that's a rare find :) What a beautiful home!
