Personal Details
Annie used to teach English but turned to painting, works in the garden studio and can almost justify a lust for travel in the name of seeking inspiration for painting. Andrew works in London in international education, also did English at university so no shortage of reading material in the house for book lovers. Andrew plays tennis and golf. We both love gardening, travelling, books and food.
