Whilst the idea of wanting to take time out seemed good at the time, I was now beginning to realise that it would take a lot of planning. It would also mean a few trips to Spain… I am now on my second trip and have found an unfurnished villa nestled in a valley surrounded… Read More Finding a Finca
Over the last year I have attempted to be strong, have pushed myself to the limit, have finalised my sons legal affairs and whilst I am still standing I want a bit of time out. Time out to rest, time out to adjust, time out to work out how to deal with triggers, time out… Read More 3 Month Work Sabbatical
The last 11 months have been the worst of my entire life and I have struggled to understand how my heart still beats, how I manage to get out of bed, to get dressed and to function.
