À propos de nous

We are a family of three, Geoff, Kate & our daughter Catherine aged 17. Catherine has been fortunate to obtain a Gap position at a school in Oxford in England in 2008 from January to December. (A gap year involves the girls & boys in boarding duties etc at schools in the UK & Ireland). Geoff and I have just retired and we wish to spend time in England during her year and travel in the United Kingdom and Europe. Geoff was the Director of a schools system (55 schools) and I worked as a Secretary for an Assistant Head of a large boys school.
We would make available a small Ford Festiva 5 door automatic car with air conditioning and power steering.
We have lived in Canberra for the last 15 years (we were originally from Sydney). We have travelled to England as a family in 1995 (12 weeks), 2001 for 6 weeks and 2005 for 5 weeks. Geoff did a months course in Louvain in 1995 and Catherine & I rented a flat in London. Kate did a working holiday with friends sailing to UK and living and touring for two years in her 20s.
A possibility exists for a houseswap with Kate's sister Marea who lives in Sydney, approximately 6 kms from the CBD in a suburb called Rodd Point. Marea's house sleeps 5.

Destination

Our dates are very flexible within the timeframe of the months of May, June, July & August. It could be two separate exchanges - ie 2 months in one location and 1 month in a different location.
We would prefer not to be more than 2 hours car travel from London. We would prefer a 3 bedroom house with similar facilities to our house. We would also prefer to do a car swap.
On a visit to England in 2005 the areas south east and south west of London, the Cotswolds and Windsor were appealing.
