We love to meet people and welcome them into my house, we try our best to accommodate our guests needs. I spend my spare time crocheting and any other craft that takes my fancy, my husband Malcolm loves doing handyman works around the house. I like to make my guests as comfortable as possible and provide them with their needs even though this will have to be with social distancing in mind.
