After a year of silence on the blog, we’re back to share the story of what’s really been happening behind the scenes. From full-time travelling and writing books to the challenges of Guardians UK and our legal battle with developers, this past year has been one of growth, resilience, and rebirth. Now, with The Guardians Tribe rising as a global platform, we’re ready to open the doors to a new chapter.

Our recent house sit in the picturesque village of Otford was filled with charm, connection, and unforgettable moments. From caring for three playful cats to exploring historic trails and sharing a sunny garden BBQ with family, every day brought something special. This sit reminded us why we love nomadic life — blending travel, pets, and family memories in beautiful places.

Our house sit in Worthing was a whirlwind of seaside adventures, local fairs, classic cars, and cozy evenings at the pub. From Dylan making new friends in Victoria Park to unforgettable walks along the beach with Joey and fireworks lighting up the night sky, every moment was filled with joy, connection, and community. Worthing gave us memories we’ll treasure long after we’ve moved on.

Our house sit in Lincolnshire was filled with nature, creativity, and connection. From birdwatching at Willow Tree Fen and gardening projects in the sun, to jam sessions in the garden den and celebrating Murphy the dog’s first birthday, every day offered learning, laughter, and love. This peaceful retreat reminded us of the joy in slowing down, embracing simple pleasures, and growing together as a family on our worldschooling journey.

Our stay in Dorset felt like stepping into a fairy-tale. Nestled in a grand country manor surrounded by rolling hills, vibrant gardens, and a host of delightful animals, every day brought beauty and inspiration. From peacocks and owls to playful dogs and tranquil walks through the estate, this magical home became a place of learning, creativity, and family connection. Dorset’s charm and warmth have left us truly enchanted.
