    Description

    Hello. I live in a beautiful medieval village in the Charente, France. I have a huge love and appreciation for nature and animals.
    I have recently had an operation on my left hand. Most things are manageable but I am wanting o make some decorating improvements in order to sell my house. I am wanting to stay within this area but would prefer a different layout to my present house. I live with my three dogs and four cats. All are very gentle. I offer comfortable accommodation and plenty of free time. I eat plant based and fish. I am a very positive person and enjoy quirky people with good humour. I need someone sooner rather than later. Thanks for reading. Please feel free to ask for any other info you need. Belinda.
