It’s always fascinating to get a peak into other people’s lives, so I thought I’d share a 2021 version of ‘what’s in my bag’. In fact, I boiled it down to the 5 essential items for leaving the house.

[Disclosure: we were guests of the Belfry but all argyle diamond knitwear clad enthusings are very much my own.] The Belfry is an award-winning hotel and resort with a modern spa… View Post
