More details about your skills
I’m pretty good at doing what’s needed, I have a yard , so I’ve done a good deal of basic gardening and weeding. I’m a nurse and midwife and am not squeamish, so would be interested to learn more about animals. We have always had chooks here in the city. I like being with kids very much, I have two grown up of my own, and a few nieces and nephews still at various kid ages who are great to spend time with. My midwifery area is post natal , so am pretty happy helping out with newborn babies.

Unfortunately something came up that meant we weren't able to host Kate.

Hope to see you back in Lorinna sometime

Jane is an incredibly kind and welcoming person. Her place is very comfortable and set in a beautiful position with all of the lovely horses. It was great to take the dogs walking every day, either with local friends of Jane’s, into town or even to the beach.
