What home improvements help increase the value of your home?

Looking to add value to your home? It’s a smart move. Home improvements are one of the best ways to do just that and you can reap the rewards when you come to sell your property. But how can you fund them and what are the best ways of adding value? 

Funding home improvements

When you make improvements to your home, you’re essentially investing money and should expect to see a return down the line. Although, finding the cash to invest isn’t always easy.

A Day Out at Exmoor Zoo

While on holiday, we wanted to do a few activities that the children picked! One of the things that all three of them kept asking to do was go to a zoo. As we are a child-focused house, we looked up the local zoos (there were two) and picked the one that we felt was best – Exmoor Zoo.
