We live in a beautiful rural area we have a fantastic mountain bike and walking track opposite our house, bikes may be borrowed for the track or going to town for a coffee and to explore .
Our home is comfortable and the garden is beautiful and peaceful with clear night sky's.
We play board games sometimes in the evenings or guitar , the Tv is on for the odd movie and we are Moto GP fans.
We will share our skills from bike basics, garden tips, drawing, sewing, and I love to cook. and we welcome your shared knowledge and stories.
