I quite like this idea. I would love a swap somewhere in the West Country.... the best bit about a swap with mine is..... other than the cats and dog, I have a friend in the annexe flat and she will sort the sheep, pigs, chooks and ducks.
I am between Epping and Harlow in a village called Hastingwood. Its 4 miles to Epping which is on the central line tube to London (about an hour into central London) and 3 miles to Harlow for trains to the East of England. Very close to the M11.
July August would be great for me. I am two bedrooms and two bathrooms and if anyone needs to bring any of their dogs/cats... mine are very friendly.
