Here is an edit of some of my favourite bits from our living room, lots of which we had in our previous house and a few key new bits which we fell in love with.

The weather was even kind to us and the sun shone for most of the time we were there. A big bonus for a UK break - especially in March!If you still aren’t sure whether Margate is for you – here are 10 reasons why you should book a trip now.
