Accommodation
Cottage living. Just converted attic and a warm and cosy room with a lovely view, and single bed.In regards to food I do not eat red meat! and don't do spicey foods, everything else I eat. Meal times vary at times, but love to sit down and have meals. Sometimes have food made up and ready for next day..really depends on my day.

Lots of interesting places to visit locally. Biking is a great way to get around. Bus service from main town is good and taxi services excellent.My lifestyle would be very gentle,alot around the home at times. Social life depends on time of year and events etc. Like to read , do art , watch movies etc. Am a cinema goer and gallery outings at times.Have friends to stay and visit every now and again. Someone living with me from workaway , would like if they would be able to fit in with what would be going on around the cottage living at the time. Not into loud noise etc.Be able to respect their surroundings etc
