We are an American couple who lived in England for three years recently. We are of middle age, speak some French, Italian, and German. We come from rural New England (USA) and know how to take care of chickens, sheep, cats, and wood heat. We are both musicans: I play the fiddle and study voice, my husband plays jazz piano, and we love going to plays and concerts. We are interested in all places that are authentic, though we prefer the countryside. We love moors, rivers, old churches, the old parts of cities, museums, and would be able to cope with a beach. We have housesat in rural Spain for one month.
