  Beschreibung

  We are 2 Brits (Kevin and Phill) who bought an old farmhouse in the French countryside in 2013, and have spent the last 10 years renovating it. Kevin is cabin crew for a UK airline and is often away with work. Phill is an interior designer. We have designed our house to welcome family, friends and guests in a homely and comforting way. We have tow friendly dogs Polly (5) and Pippin (2.5 years old) and a loving cat Miel Miaow who is 13. We are located in a quiet village, surrounded by vineyards, hlll-top villages, rivers and market towns. Our areas is known as the French Tuscany. The gentle undulating hills are perfect for hiking and cycling.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  The Tarn department in France is a relatively unknown and under-rated part of south west france. We would like to spend time introducing our Workawayers to various parts of the region, and to its gastronomic highlights. We live in the oldest wine-producing area of France, and the grapes grown here are unique. There are around 100 family-run vineyards to discover, some walking distance from the house. Our closest city, Albi, is about 20 minutes drive away and is a UNESCO world heritage site, boasting the world's largest brick-built cathedral. About a dozen medieval hilltop villages dot the landscape.

  Meine Tiere/Haustiere

  

  Miel Miaow (12 Jahren)

  Miel is a cross bread cat we are not quite sure what the mix is.
  She loves people and is very friendly and loves attention especially have her ears played with.
  She has a tendency to lightly bite people she likes.
  She will sleep in your opened suitcase or drawer if she makes her way into your bedroom.
  She gets on well with Polly but is ver weary of Pippin.

  

  Pippin Pickles (2 Jahren)

  Pippin is a beagle/pointer cross, he is such a cuddly loveable dog who loves being fussed over.
  He does love to bark and as he is part pointer he loves to hunt.
  He has had a hard start to life, he was abandoned as a puppy with his brothers and was taken in by a charity. He had a problem with his throat that required an operation which means he can only eat soft food.
  Recently he has been suffering from cancer and has had two big operations on his back and a course of chemotherapy. But he has undergone all of this with gusto and a love for life.
  He and Polly are great friends and love to play together.
  He does tend to chase our cat but if ok with her when she is in our company but will bark at her if we are not there.

  

  Polly Pickles (5 Jahren)

  Polly is a husky/border collie cross.
  She is 5 years old, she loves to chase the ball.
  She is a very friendly but quite independent dog.
  She will bark at strangers when she first meets them but once she knows you she will be your friend.
