Lifestyle

We love the outdoors and have just returned from our 2nd trip in 2 years caravanning around Australia.
We like sailing and snorkelling and walking on the beach. Needless to say we love to travel and have done house swaps in Edinburgh. Nordheimsund in Norway. Amsterdam, Vienna, Wellington in New Zealand, Barcelona, and Brittany,
