We enjoy painting, music and other creative projects, and one of us particularly enjoys swimming. We also have a much-loved old dog, so a love of animals is a bonus! We’re looking for someone relaxed, kind and adaptable who enjoys getting involved and helping make everyday life a little easier and more enjoyable.
