I have know Julia and Andy for many years and have stayed in the house in France. I have been a houseowner in England since 1973 and would have no hesitation in asking them to sit it when I went away. I also they are both caring and sensible and would look after pets very well. My only regret is that this a service offered by them in France because were it here, I would take it up tomorrow.
