Finding our FREEDOM

Our lives were swiftly put on hold as the pandemic swept across the globe. Of course, our health and wellbeing is the main priority, but it is only natural to crave some of life’s little luxuries and miss the social activities which once filled our calendar.

It went down in history as the ‘Roaring 20s’, when the surging economy caused a boom in consumerism – and some think we are about to experience the same economic prosperity and social buzz.
