We are Colin & Christine, a very active, non-smoking and responsible English couple who visit Australia every year in January & February for a few weeks to see our children and our ever-increasing number of grandchildren. In England we both own and run a Four-Star seven-bedroom Bed & Breakfast business (always clean & tidy in readiness for an unexpected visit from a Hotel Inspector) in our beautiful three hundred year old home on the banks of the River Bure on the Norfolk Broads. Our house was a former Coaching Inn and we maintain the property and grounds to a very high standard. Colin spent 26 years in the Royal Air Force and has retained the discipline, thoughtfulness and practicality instilled in him throughout his career. We appreciate fine things and good quality, and know how to care for and respect the property of others to our own very high standard. We love animals and fish and would love to care for your house, property, pets & gardens. We are seeking a house sit in the Northern Beaches area around Sydney during January to end of February 2014. Thanks for considering us and we are happy to call you at our expense for an interview. Please feel free to look at our website and B&B reviews on Trip Advisor Regards, Christine & Colin
