Introduction

Hello. We are Miriam and Matthew. I used to teach but retired a few years ago. My husband is also recently retired and worked within the property world. Our hobbies are sailing, gardening, walking and I like painting and cooking. Matthew

Home & location

We live in a small, quiet village called Fala, near Pathhead - nearest shop 2 miles away in villages of Humbie or Pathhead. Fala House is an old Victorian manse. There is a downstairs guest bedroom and bathroom. A car is pretty essential
