Kate Langbroek says sending her children to school ‘feels like a miracle’ – after ‘intense’ quarantine with family following their return from a two-year stint in pandemic-ravaged Italy

Kate Langbroek has been through a difficult few years, living in Italy with her family of six during some of the worst days of the pandemic.

Now the 55-year-old is marvelling at the joy of the small things – such as sending her children back to school.

She added the caption: ‘six do quarantine’ and ‘Christmas, here we come.’

When the gang were halfway through their quarantine in the middle of December, Kate spoke out about her experience during an interview with The Project.

‘It’s really, very intense to have six people together in a very small space with not even a window that you can open,’ she candidly said. 

‘The only consolation is you can yell at the kids as loud as you want. No one will come!’ Kate joked.
