In 2016 we exchanged in France and in 2017 we exchanged in Cardiff. In 2020 we managed to have a lovely exchange in Ludlow between lock downs . In 2021, we exchanged in Bournemouth, Dorset, Wimborne Minster, Dorset, and Suffolk. This year we have exchanged in North Wales and will soon exchange in Leicestershire.
We are open to offers for weekends and longer periods and we are not confined to school holidays (any more!)
