The End of an Era marks the Beginning of a New One
It’s hard to believe that two days before Queen Elizabeth passed away she had been dealing with the formalities of saying goodbye to Boris Johnson and granting an audience to Liz Truss. Smiley and effervescent, a consummate and dedicated professional, the Queen continued working until her death.
The last few days have demonstrated exactly what the Queen meant to the country, the Commonwealth and the whole World, but more than that - exactly how she was dedicated to her role.
Hers was a unique situation - foisted into a being heir to the throne because of a change of circumstance, she had very little choice but to carry on, she couldn’t find another job, this was her duty. A duty she fulfilled for 70 years and of course, along with that 70 years of scrutiny.
Whilst we did not know her, she has always been there - omnipresent, the constant in a changing world for 7 decades.

How Tenants can be eco friendly
1. Smart home meters – track the energy being used in the house, help reduce cost of living in respect of the bills as well as ensuring you’re not using unnecessarily excessive energy.
2. Recycling and using compostable/food bins – help reduce the waste going into landfill when a large amount of product/food can be reused or recycled into biofuel / fertiliser. Staying aware and having environmentally friendly mindset will help in reducing carbon footprint.
3. Any furniture which a tenant has with them when they move in will inevitably change over time so donating these ‘older’ appliances to charity shops etc will ensure they get reused and have a new life, instead of being sent to landfill.
