Tom & Helen are a couple with one teenage daughter, Anna. Friendly, outgoing, chatty, home-loving, Scottish.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't waste your life waiting for happiness to come in the future (when you've got more money, a better job, a perfect relationship...). Appreciate the good things you've got NOW.
