It seems that the current challenging times are bringing out all sorts of creativity from our team and many are putting pen to paper. So far we’ve had two emotional and heartfelt blogs from Clare and Stacey and now we have a more humorous scripture on what it’s like to be a furloughed solicitor from Amanda. […]
