I clearly remember when I first bought the house I live in now. We had a load of people staying for Xmas, and after a few glasses of wine I went to the kitchen to get another bottle - and I marvelled at the things I had running in that moment - a fridge keeping my wine nice and cool, a dishwasher effortlessly handling everything from a meal for 8 people, the washing machine going as we'd just had some people leave (as others came) and needed to clean the bedding, and the tumble drier full of my kids clothes. Was one of those moments when you really realise just how insanely lucky I am to be born into the life I live - when billions of others could only dream of the luxury.
