We are a retired former High School Teacher & Accountant, in our seventies enjoying life to the full. We have completed 12 very successful exchanges to the UK and Europe over the past 15 years. Our interests include time on our 26' motor cruiser, fishing for our supper, and hooking the occasional shark, sipping a quality wine (not connoisseurs) whilst dining out on most cuisines. As National Trust members we make visiting properties a priority in UK. In our younger life we lived and worked in the UK and travelled extensively throughout Europe in a motorhome. Mary is originally from Croatia so usually visit the Dalmatian coast in September and October. Our daughter, Megan, occasionally joins us for a few weeks if her schedule permits. We are courteous and respectful and will treat your home, property and belongings with the care and attention that is expected.
