Looking round my small rental flat, I sighed. As a single mother, some days I felt like I’d never own my own home.
With the cost of living being so expensive, sometimes it got me down.
I’d been a musician, but when I fell pregnant, and was desperate to provide for my son, Derek, I went back to uni and retrained to be a town planner.
On graduating, I was determined to get a job somewhere rural where I had a hope of buying a home for me and Derek.
