We are a family with four lovely children aged 11,9,7 and 2 living in a barn that we converted into a home. We have also 3 goats, a pony and a donkey and a very friendly dog. My husband is an engineer and I am a painter, a potter and a gardener. We have a busy home with lots of people visiting so there are always lots of people to meet. We are in the countryside but there are bikes to borrow to go and see local villages. The children are lots of fun and it is a great place to experience real English family life.
At the moment we have all our children at home being home educated because our youngest daughter was very ill last year with breathing problems so we wanted to be extra careful. We are still happy for people to come to stay and join in on all the family fun.
