Imagine leaving behind the rat race, grabbing your bucket list of adventures, and actually doing it. It’s the dream for a lot of people, but the Meek family have made it a reality. Picture courtesy of the Meeks Back in 2014 Kerry and Tim Meek gave up their jobs as teachers, sold their house and…
How many postcards did you receive this summer? We got one…a month after the senders had returned home! This made me wonder whether there’s still a place for the humble postcard? When I was a child I loved looking through boxes of old cards saved by my grandparents. They had mostly been sent by my dad…
