The experience

Anthony and I have 3 children (age 10, 13 and 14) and live quite a self-sustaining life of growing and preserving vegetables, keeping hens and fishing for mackerel.
We homeschool our children who are all learning French and would really appreciate someone to converse with them in French whilst slotting into our family routine. If you enjoy young minds, like playing games (chess/board games) and the outdoor life then you'll enjoy it here!
