More details about your skills
I speak reasonably good French and would like to immerse myself in the language whilst working with you. I can run a household, tend a garden and feed a family having raised 2 amazing daughters (28&30) and been happily married for 36 years. I was an aupair in the south of France and lived in the French Alps for a season. Originally I trained as a bi-lingual secretary and worked in London where I met my husband. We moved to the south coast of England 25 years ago and having had my daughters I retrained as a sailing instructor and held administrative/secretarial part-time jobs. More recently I am really enjoying learning how to scull and have entered local regattas. My husband and I travel to Europe in our motor home with our road bikes for about 5 months a year, Morocco in the spring is the next plan. Since retiring we have also been to New Zealand and South America.
