We are a very active retired couple (pilot/teacher) . Our family and all grandchildren live in Australia in the Melbourne area so we visit often mostly in our winter. We are active members of our local U3A where we run a wine tasting group. We do a lot of gardening, hiking, swimming and ballroom dancing. We love to eat out in local restaurants/pubs and go to the theatre and concerts both locally and in London. We also travel a lot so we can offer non simultaneous exchange.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We have a lovely home and expect it to be cared for as we do and as we would care for the houses we visit. We have a gardener who comes in once a week but we may need a bit of watering of pots as well. We also have a cleaner one morning a week who would be glad to come in.
