We lived in Worthing for a month, and it was interesting! It is a period of time we won’t forget – it was memorable for so many reasons. We stayed there temporarily whilst awaiting our onward move, and it felt a little bit, at times, like an extension of the Read more
We have lived in Worthing for about three weeks now, and it’s been eventful! Since arriving, Boy has miraculously been awarded Scout of the Year, we have a new Prime Minister, the Queen has died, and Number One has left me! With her departure to pastures new, there are many Read more
