Retired couple who love to travel, but also love to be back in our own home.
We like to keep our home updated so maintenance is a top priority. We stopped for a couple of years before resuming with HomeLink & we don’t always do a consent form, so our 24 exchanges have not been recognised.
Peter is a bike rider who loves anywhere with hills, whilst Jan is into scrapbooking so takes lots of photos.
We strive to keep ourselves fit.
