We are a retired married couple of Australians, he was media man and I was an engineer in Oil Industry. We are 60 and 69 non smokers, fit and fairly active. We have been living in France for 5 years but recently sold our house in preparation to go back to Australia some time in 2019. We are looking at other sits in France for December to March , England (central preferred) March and April and Australia (Perth or FNQ) after that Scooter (desexed Dalmatian bitch) will (we hope) be with us until we leave UK, she will be 13 plus by then, she gets on with everyone and is no problem. I am very experienced with horses, having stood my own stallion and worked with youngstock, including competing eventing and dressage. Also very doggy, large or small is fine. Happy to do some gardening or whatever
