So pleased to see you on here. You are at your best when your content comes from your heart. Your home is lovely but I think most of us follow because you are thoroughly decent human beings. Plus you have dogs! Don’t let this become a burden. We are with you for the long haul ♥️💞🙌🌟

Ahh you’ll pick it up in no time 😊 It’s like writing and all the good bits of social media/content creation had a baby - it’s pretty awesome!

I’m so excited! Toby you have such a way with words as evident by the voice-overs you do for the YT videos, so I think this will be a great medium for your thoughts and eloquent writing!

That’s so kind of you Justin, thank you. I appreciate that so much. Storytelling has always been a huge passion of me, through art when I was younger and throughout university, and now bizarrely, through narrating our life. Really looking forward to this next platform to put something more physical into existence!

It’s a very scary time right now, isn’t it? We seem to be regressing here in the UK, too, but trying our best to remain positive and focussed on doing our best to support those that need it ❤️

I agree and identify with many of your thoughts and feelings as expressed in this raw, honest and touching post. I have found writing and reading a very cathartic and healing process at certain times in my life, although the support, communication and understanding of my partner, family, friends and teaching colleagues have been just as important, if not more so.

Good choice. Although I love seeing all your photos, it must be a huge effort within your lifestyle. There really is no rest for you if your work is instagram driven. Physically and mentally draining to be at that level of mentally to be constantly switched on. Good luck you two, on rethinking and trying different paths with what you want to do 🩵🩵
