Now that we’re allowed out into some public spaces in the U.K., we thought that we’d shake up our Stay Home Discoveries blog and extend it to what we’re doing when we’re out and about too.
So we’ve changed the name and curated a list of our discoveries for this week including vegan junk food, vintage clothing finds, and our new favourite TV show.
