Matt and Rose

A little bit of stating the obvious but we are Matt and Rose (or Rosie).


We live in South Leicestershire and certainly don't think of ourselves as "ideas people" or "influencers", but enough people ask how and where we get ideas from for days out and home improvements that we thought that maybe we should pull those parts of our lives together into a single online space so you can take a look, too.


Feel free to comment on any posts and we'll do our best to reply.


Enjoy!

It’s been quite an intense first couple of weeks of our engagement but with an upcoming trip to Cheltenham we’ve seized the opportunity...

Where to even start??

Test drive - Renault Captur
