A large garden with tables and chairs to relax listening to the birds and watching the horses and sheep who are the only neighbors...

And Bali! A shy and fearful cat (adopted from a shelter) who needs to be fed in my absence. She doesn't meow, is very discreet, and can't stand being approached. Except to give him food! ;)

Notes

(NB: the reviews of the previous exchanges are related to the old house in which I lived. I don't live on an equestrian estate anymore.)

It was a real pleasure to exchange (against a globe) with Anne-Christelle. The house is located in the heart of a horse pension and my daughter, passionate about horses, was able to see them every morning and even take care of them thanks to the kindness of the neighbor and the owners of the horses. The house is atypical and very very pleasant. It must be said that we had the ideal week in terms of temperature and sun. Thank you again Anne-Christelle!

We had a wonderful time at Anne-Christelle's home in Terres de Druance, Normandy. Her home is in a small "hameau" where the neighbors, along with the many horse owners that come to visit (as her home sits on a horse farm), all know each other. We never met so many kind and accommodating people....we even got some help (a ride to Caen and a kind neighbor to bring us to the local market) when we had some car troubles. Anne-Christelle's home is very cosy, and is right next to a forest for calm walks. We enjoyed local vegetables, fruits and meats, and some wild strawberries and blackberries growing in abundance nearby. We also took numerous trips to the D-day beaches, which was really memorable. I will always think fondly of this special exchange at Anne-Christelle's with my two daughters.

I used to travel a lot, and then I became a therapist and I learned to explore, from my sofa, the worlds of the people I accompany. It's a real passion! (https://www.ack14.net/)

I am once again attracted to new horizons and I will be delighted to come and explore your home!

I am also an author and occasionally look for new spaces, rather wild, isolated, in the heart of the living, for inspiration dedicated to writing. 

In general, with a calm (and wild) temperament, I mainly look for peaceful spaces, in the green...

Looking forward to talking to you! :)
