I am a semi- retired senior executive who lives with a retired partner. We have a grown up family who now live around the world. We understand the differing cultures in other countries and can offer a broad understanding of life in the UK
We value more the cultural exchange than the contribution that any individual can offer to our garden and boat projects.
