They both love painting and Lego, playing outside (football etc) and kitty loves her trampoline, Hannah Montana and in her latest quest to be a rock star, her electric guitar!! We are quite busy and sporty, like going out, playing tennis and walking and cycling in the beautiful woods nearby. We have a dog called roly who is very sweet and cuddly. First Sharon and mark are both in full time school which is very close by home, and Mark speaks French little and Sharon has been learning French for a few weeks now too... They get involved in lots of after school activities like swimming, tennis, football, cricket, choir, & drama. Life can be a bit chaotic with young children, but generally we are pretty relaxed. There are lots & lots of au pairs living around us and a great language school too! Our previous au pairs have been happy and still keep in touch with my family!
