Details
Description
We live on a large section on the edge of Tauranga. We have lots of fruit trees, a large vegie garden, a few chicken, a worm farm, a crazy demanding cat & a large Newfoundland dog. There is always lots to do to keep the place in order (although generally a week at a time is all we can accomodate). Autumn is a busy time preserving all our produce - we make a lot of our food & what we do buy is generally wholesome & natural.
We have a tennis court, small gym & swimming pool which you are welcome to use.
We have travelled extensively.
We are non smokers & expect you to refrain from smoking in the house please.
Would love help with learning French/Italian if that's possible!
Thanks
