We are Della and Tracy, an English, female,
couple. We are both in our mid 40’s and we have been together for 26 years.
Before deciding to do something different with the second half of our lives, we both had successful careers in banking and the Civil Service. We also had a “family” of pets including a horse, 3 cats and 2 West Highland White Terriers ("our boys" are featured on the Homepage).
We were lucky enough to live in a beautiful home which had the added benefit of a huge garden where we spent many hours, indulging in one of our hobbies namely, gardening - we are no experts but we did landscape the garden ourselves, installed a pond, created a rockery and erected a pergola! We also had a substantial area which we used as our vegetable plot growing (mostly with success!) the usual garden veg - we also had some apple, plum and pear trees and raspberry canes.
We enjoy the outdoors and our hobbies include; horse riding (including an interest in the Parelli Natural Horsemanship techniques), golf, yoga, walking, cycling, vegetarian and vegan cooking, reading and gardening. We take an active interest in the environment, recycling where possible and support organic initiatives.
We both enjoy the challenge of learning new languages and we both speak conversational French and, very basic Italian!
We have travelled extensively, undertaking a number of house and pet sitting assignments in the UK, France, Italy, Corsica, Crete, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Hawaii.
