Retired teacher, with two boys, 20 year old currently working in Canada, 16 year old still at home. I’m now enjoying more family time and do a little dog walking and small dog boarding. We love holidaying in the U.K. and further afield.
We would love to go back to Florida or perhaps explore more of the USA. Proximity to beach and pool preferable. Now my eldest is working in BC, Canada, would love to visit him too.
We are one adult and one or two young adults.

Beschreibung unseres Tauschangebotes
We have arranged an exchange for this Summer already (2020).
Our house is detached with a small garden in a quiet cul de sac in a small village. We have friendly neighbours and the village is the perfect base to explore Bristol, Bath, The Cotswolds and further afield.
Almondsbury is a small and friendly village, with a thriving community shop, located to the north of Bristol. It enjoys many local amenities and easy access to bus/train and motorway networks. The attractive Bowl Inn is our local pub and is just around the corner. There are a variety of exercise classes including Pilates and Fitness in our village hall. There are several lovely walks straight from the house and many more within a few miles.
Our nearest small town is Thornbury (pop 15,000) and is a typical market town with charming tea rooms, varied restaurants, a small castle and medieval church. There is also a leisure centre with swimming pool and large children's playground just down the road. Cribbs Causeway shopping centre is a ten minute drive from us and has shops, restaurants, cinema complex and bowling alley.
Bristol itself has so much to offer and was voted one of the top ten cities in the world to visit by DK Eyewitness Travel Guides. It is cosmopolitan and vibrant, and offers sights such as the Clifton suspension bridge, Avon Gorge (A visit to the Avon Gorge Hotel for a meal/drinks is recommended!), Brunel's SS Great Britain, The City Museum and Art Gallery and Cathedral. Bristol Old Vic Theatre is the oldest continuously operating theatre in the UK. In contrast, Bristol's Hippodrome features musicals, operas and other popular shows. There are several National Trust properties (e.g. Tyntesfield and Dyrham Park) within a stone's throw and a half hour drive takes you to the beautiful countryside near Nympsfield and Stonehouse, location of Woodchester Mansion. The ancient site of Stonehenge can be reached by car within an hour and is well worth a visit.
There are several festivals throughout the year in Bristol itself e.g. Balloon Fiesta, Kite Festival, Harbourside Festival and Organic Food Fair. There are many different areas within the city, from the interesting shops and galleries of Clifton village to the historical harbour or the new 'Cabot's Circus'.
