STYLE IT OUT

However much we may enjoy a bit of time at home, Covid-19 has stretched us to the limit. Personally, I have long been accustomed to working from home (I’ve been doing it for several years), but the recent restrictions that kept the whole household indoors for long periods of time proved to be very challenging.

During that time, many of us looked ahead longingly at the prospect of a summer holiday or some time away, but as that time came closer and closer the restrictions still lingered and even now there remains great uncertainty about the wisdom or possibility of getting out of the country for a holiday, and even holidaying in this country brings its own challenges unique to the Covid-19 pandemic.

For a family with young children, like my own, it has become increasingly important, but also increasingly difficult, to find a change of scene or a change of mood that keeps things fresh in the home environment.
