2020 – What a year it is proving to be.

By David RoperNovember 18, 2020Hope, Uncategorized
This is the first new blog post for Hope Law since January, when we took a few minutes to wish all of you a happy new year. Of course that was a sincere wish to all of you, but who could have anticipated what this year would bring? Trying to strike the right tone here...

New year, new decade, new resolutions

By Sally RoperJanuary 8, 2020Uncategorized
Happy New Year from us to you, from our family to your family! Christmas was busy here at Hope Law. Most of you know that we work from home, which means that family and work life often melts into one big pot, and this year we definitely found family life to be taking precedent over...

Happy Birthday Hope Law…we’re growing up so fast!

By Sally RoperOctober 8, 2019Uncategorized
Last month, we celebrated our 1st birthday. What a year it has been! We have learnt so much, worked so hard, made so many new friends and grown up a lot! Celebrating birthdays are our thing. In fact, celebrating full-stop is our thing. We love nothing more than cake, balloons, music, presents and parties…and a...

Looking up

By Sally RoperJuly 24, 2019Uncategorized
Who do you look up to? Perhaps you’ve always admired a certain celebrity, actor, artist or musician? Maybe your hero is a world-changing character from history, or it may be that your hero is someone closer to home. During my (almost) 42 years of life, I have met many men and women who I have...

The Joys of Childhood

By Sally RoperMarch 4, 2019Uncategorized
For most of us, when we look back on our childhood, we have great memories. We can look through our family photo albums, laugh at the silly clothes we wore, name old friends, remember birthday parties we went to and games we played. Most of us can switch on one of our favourite childhood films...

What makes us US

By Sally RoperJanuary 14, 2019Uncategorized
It would not be unreasonable for me to be accused of being sentimental. I love to look back on my childhood. It was mainly very happy – we all have difficult stuff that happens like friends moving away, grandparents dying, bad days when our friends suddenly don’t seem to be in the mood to be...

The TRUTH about camping

By Sally RoperNovember 13, 2018Uncategorized
Ahhh camping! A wonderful opportunity to live in the great outdoors, to wake up to the sounds of nature, with birdsong and the fresh smell of the trees; A time to be free from the pressures of daily life, without the noise of social media, television and the craziness of the rat race; A time...

The Photo Bath

By Sally RoperNovember 1, 2018Uncategorized
  We had moved into our house during a hot July, and after only a month in our “new” house – it was a Victorian semi in dire need of updating – I found myself with two small children, another one on the way, surrounded by the dust and debris of a loft conversion in...

There’s Still Time

By Sally RoperSeptember 19, 2018Family, Finishing Well
Something happened on Saturday. Our eldest son, our firstborn (and therefore our parenting guinea pig) became an adult…well, legally, anyway. The day began, as all birthdays do in our house, with presents and cards in the living room, pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast and the usual conversation about where we were at that exact...
