It’s been a year! One year ago: I nervously started this new blog, opened up to the good people of Glasgow, braced myself for some finger wagging but in the end had a jolly good time writing! Is it pretentious to wish myself “Happy Blogiversary”? Okay then, moving on. My hibernation through sheer burn […]

When Fai met Dave
Six months ago, Fai decided to take a break from the dating, online, marriage world and focus on the house search which she had been happily putting off for around six years.
