    Description

    We are looking to continue our renovation work, this year we would like to build a bbq area, repoint some outside walls, and decorate, also a decking area around the swimming pool, and plenty of gardening.
    We are in our mid 60’s married for 47yrs, have 4 adult children who are all married with children of their own, and live away from home.
    We live in a large 450yr old+ French farm house,,which we have been renovating for 25 + yrs on a small budget,
    After 30 odd years in the removal business, we are both now semi retired. Whilst we both have quite severe spinal Injury's, we try to be as active as possible, and enjoy walking, cycling, and swimming in our pool, we are very open minded about other cultures, food, tradition and customs, and are eager to experience different ways of life.
    We enjoy relaxing around a bbq with good company and good wine and music, welcoming anyone who wants to jam.
    We except all, but would appreciate advance warning for any special requirements, eg vegan, gluten free ….
