More details about your skills
In the 30+ years we have been together we have renovated property deemed uninhabitable, lived in houses built brand new and everything between those two extremes. The common thread between all these has been much work on maximising the value of the gardens Whether large or small.
We are very much outdoors types. The 10 mile walks and 50 mile bike rides we enjoy are facilitated by living in the Cotswolds.
Howard volunteers with the National Trust where he works with the Estates team fixing fences, walls etc and eradicating invasive species at the Newark Park site.
Age
67 & 58
What else ...
Having lived in the Rocky Mountains for 10 years we are keen mountaineers. Most recently we enjoy skiing, hiking, via ferrata and a Little Rock climbing.
In the past we have played competitive tennis, squash and volleyball to moderately high levels. Howard still plays tennis and is actually typing this en route to a league match.
