Terms of use
The Happy Life is a personal family journal. By using the site you agree to these simple terms.
Our words and photos
Unless a photo is credited to someone else, the writing and photos on this site are ours. Please don't copy, reuse or share them — and especially not photos of our family — without asking us first. Linking to a page is always welcome.
Photos by other people
Some photos were taken by other photographers and are used under free licences such as Creative Commons. Each one is credited with its licence where it appears and on the photo credits page; you may reuse those photos under the terms of their own licence.
Private links
If we've shared a private page with you, please keep the link to yourself unless we say otherwise.
Other websites
We sometimes link to other websites. We're not responsible for their content, and a link isn't an endorsement. Some links may be affiliate links — see the affiliate disclosure.
No guarantees
This is a personal journal of our own experiences and opinions. We try to get things right, but we can't promise everything is accurate or up to date, so please check anything important for yourself (opening times, prices, recipes and so on).
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time; the date below shows the latest version. Questions? Email hello@thehappylife.uk.
