The main news being since finishing renovating my property I’ve put it up for sale and my boyfriend and I are looking for a new project together.

My thoughts are with her family, I can’t begin to imaging how they must be feeling right now, however we shouldn’t let one horrible story (that could have happened anywhere) deter us from new adventures.
