  Description

  Live in central England with us.
  We are a family of 4 - my 3 boys and I.
  Thomas is 15 and very active - always out playing football and going to the gym.
  Jordan is 11. When he's not playing outside with his friends (we live in a quiet estate where kids play outside), he's either playing videogames or on his phone, or playing sports.He likes playing board games and art.
  Dylan is 8. He's cheeky and funny - a sweet and phone monster! When he's not out playing, he loves nothing more than his phone, while eating sweets...
  I'm Alessandra. Originally from Italy. We speak English and Italian at home. Their father lives abroad so it's only us. I love travelling and foraging... I often have to bribes the kids to come on a walk with me, in the beautiful surrounding countryside.

We are surrounded by beautiful countryside, rolling hills, historical villages, cows, sheep. So we have both worlds! There are lovely countryside walk all around, using public footpaths that criss cross the country - real adventures as you never know where you end up with, maybe a field full of cows!! We have a train station than in just over 1 hr will bring you to London.
  We can help you with your English or even learning Italian. Making bread, pizza, pasta...
