The Instagram announcement follows a post by Laura yesterday (Friday January 7) concerning a big life change.

She captioned the upload: “I wish I could say I look like this photo right now but I don’t because, since the start of the new year we have been packing up our home ready to move.
“Today we close the door and say goodbye to a home that we have loved and enjoyed for the last nine years – the longest I have lived anywhere in my entire adult life!
“It was a home that we transformed but more importantly it was a home where we created some incredible memories that we will cherish forever.”
Laura also reflected on how ‘change can be scary’ but noted how “allowing fear to stop you from growing, evolving and progressing” is scarier.
