Phil, 2007 & 2017
“In 2015, I moved out of the family home, having decided to end a beautiful marriage of 17 years to Ilana. It was clear we wanted different things in life and were heading in different directions. It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. A year later, I moved in with Sandy, an angel who bravely moved from Sydney to London to explore the “what ifs” of our earlier introduction on a Greek island dance retreat.”

“We have watched Myla grow to become a young woman. Joanne’s father passed away, and she has taken on the care of her mother, working longer hours. I have stumbled across mindfulness and meditation, but the real strength to ease the suffering of living in a material world comes from Joanne & Myla.”

Lynne: “The most significant things that happened to us in the past ten years were losing my Dad Leslie, Bernie’s Mum Rosie and my brother Laurie.

“The housing situation made it impossible for me to afford anything more than a rancid cardboard box on the hard shoulder of the M25, and it forced me to move back home. I have completed an accounts course as a career change. With a new job, I might be able to afford a fresh cardboard box, possibly on a dual carriageway.”
