Hi, My husband and I are from Cape Town SA. We are currently here in Brittany France for a year. I am an artist and I also taught art in colour pencil medium as well as stamping and paper crafts. We brought two small dogs with us and we both love gardening and the outdoors. My husband loves fly fishing and wood work.
