The tent in the bedroom didn’t work out. Even though the bedroom is large, the tent dominated the space and would have driven me insane, so I moved on to plan B.

Tom agreed to get the overgrown garden cleared so I could erect the tent in a secluded corner by the tree. The garden was done yesterday, but in what’s to be my cosy corner, I discovered a bee’s nest, so the bees get to keep my corner, and I need to find somewhere else for my sanctuary.

I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle; all I want is some me time and space, but Tom, the children, and now bees are taking over.
