I actually moved out while the renovations are happening, because I was really struggling with all the dust, and with how much I’m flying and travelling back and forth for work.’I just needed somewhere I could unpack, repack and head straight back to the airport without living on a building site.’Everything’s still very much in progress, and the builders have just been cracking on!!! I’m going back to the house really soon to check in on everything. I can’t wait to show you all when it’s ready! The transformation is going to be so crazy.’
