  • Descrição

    Brian is a Civil Engineer by profession and a recently retired Construction Manager with a large Construction Company in Australia.
    Karen is a qualified Florist but had a gardening business in Australia.
    We used to live in Perth, Australia and the UK where we lived in Falmouth, Cornwall until recently. We also spend some time in France and Italy.
    We are basically on holiday everywhere but we like to keep busy and would like to help someone out, meet new people and see a bit more of the countryside.
    We are both hands-on people and don't mind hard work. I've renovated all the houses I've lived in and built the last one from the ground up. There's probably not much I can't do in the building trade (body willing) and I'm also a fair mechanic.
    Hobbies are mainly nature walks when in Cornwall but in Australia I do long safaris into the bush with my Defender or big trips with the caravan around Australia. Karen loves to get into Floral Art at the drop of a hat (when in civilisation).
    We have both travelled extensively throughout our lives, mainly on a shoe-string by preference.
    We are both omnivores but happy to go vegetarian if that's the norm. Moderate drinkers but non-smokers.
    We are not interested in any big city locations and would prefer a country location with hiking opportunities and some sort of project work rather than just cleaning and baby sitting........in fact, forget the baby-sitting altogether. We are not really interested in housekeeping/cleaning host's B&B/Gites full time. We have a Merc estate for travel in Europe.
