If you had told me a car park tunnel at a Sainsbury’s supermarket in Bude, Cornwall was a no.1 tourist attraction on Tripadvisor and then was going to be one of the longest tunnels of Christmas lights in Europe this year, I would never have believed it. But, turns out it’s true and it looks…
I’ll admit, I was really quite reserved when The Cleaning Gurus initially contacted me about reviewing their services.

In these divided times, it’s nice to have something that we can all relate to – step forward, the common cold. The sneezing, headaches and perpetually runny nose are symptoms all too familiar to the majority of us at some point during the year. In fact, there’s a good chance that some of you reading…
As parents, we know that young skin is sensitive and precious, and it is natural for parents to worry that any damage will leave a visible scar. From babies exploring their new world to school children in the playground, accidents and injuries are commonplace. In fact, more than two million children under the age of…
The vast destruction of our planet Earth is probably scaring you as much as it is frightening me. Every day we see pictures of oceans filled with plastic, starving polar bears, and destroyed rainforests, amongst others, and it can honestly feel like whatever we do won’t really help anymore.
