We are a couple in our early 60's who usually travel with our adult daughter Natalie who is in her 30's ( this year we may like to include our 2 grandchildren for the summer)
We love experiencing other cultures and 'hotels' are our pet hate - hence the home exchanges!
Wane is originally from the Caribbean and works in the building trade - as our home shows, he is skilled at recreating original Victorian features . Mary has a background in Social Work and has recently retired (yikes!) from lecturing in child care. While our own three children were growing up we use to care for an additional two foster children hence had a 'house full' or should it be a 'full house' ! We now have five grandchildren that keep us busy so have a very child friendly home.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
We live in a conservation area, the Aldersbrook Estate which is on the outskirts of London . The area is secluded and the neighbours are very friendly and helpful . We have open land with a lake at one end of our road and a lovely park the other, with a small kiosk selling light refreshments.
There are easy train links into Central London via Manor Park Station ( a 10 minute walk ) and the London Underground at Wanstead ( a 10 minutes bus ride in the opposite direction). Wanstead itself still has a village feel with ample cafes and eateries , as well as three small supermarkets (Tescos , M&S food and
the Co-op).
