Q&A St AlbansSeptember brings the return of school runs, packed lunches, PE kits and homework – and, for many families, it’s also the point when the way their home really works is put firmly back under the spotlight.
Suddenly the kitchen table is competing for space between homework, dinner and working from home, bathrooms are operating on a rotation schedule, and the hallway is once again disappearing beneath school bags, shoes and sports kit!
