Married couple in our 50's . We both love a simple country life. Liz is a textile artist who works mainly with wool and Graham is a farmer and plumber. We moved to our village full time 4 years ago and have been slowly renovating this delightful Victorian railway station. We have lots of visitors to the studio in the summer and Liz runs workshops from the studio in the station. We are non smokers and rarely drink alcohol. We look after the station planting throughout the year. We hope to get a polytunnel to extend our growing season
