We are Philippa and Allan, a well-travelled couple in our early 60s. We've been Homelink members since 2003 and have done over 70 exchanges, via Homelink and other swapping sites. We are also experienced house and pet sitters. We are very flexible on dates and can offer simultaneous or non simultaneous exchanges. We are currently seeking an exchange in Scotland or North of England for late August 2024 Usually we travel as a couple ( but our adult daughter and granddaughter aged 6 might come with us) . We also have a further home that sleeps 2 in the Lot Et Garonne and a modest cottage, sleeping 4 in County Durham, plus ur main home in Brittany, France

The church bells directly opposite stop ringing at 10pm.and start again at 6.30 am, but being at the back of the house we slept like logs. Highly recommended.
