…….so does our time in Essex. We previously mentioned that our life here is changing and after a stressful few months, right out of the blue, we have secured our “dream job”. Before we left NZ we jokingly said that we were coming to look after some ‘rich dudes’ place in their absence.
We have been lucky enough to be gifted with realizing that dream. We leave here on the 18th to our next job which is situated in the heart of the beautiful Cotswolds.
We are to be looking after a Manor House, set in luxurious gardens in a beautiful little English village. Our employers, Sir M & Lady K, the most gracious and charming of people, live overseas and only come to stay in their completely refurbished country home for about 6-8 weeks of each year. The rest of the year we are responsible for the security, maintenance and staff supervision of this beautiful, gracious 16th century Grade II listed manor and grounds, including a brand new swimming pool and tennis court. Our employers have homes in many other parts of the world and we may be required at various times to travel to and work in these.
We have learned a lot in our current job and it has certainly stood us in very good stead for our next one.
Our employers are very happy for us to have friends and family come to stay, with the proviso that when they are in residence, they have our full and undivided attention…we are happy with that, given that gives you the opportunity to visit and stay for the other 48 weeks of the year!!
In the meantime we are off somewhere exotic for a (we think!) well earned break before we start our new position…..Christmas cards will not be sent from our end, but we are thinking of you all and miss you especially at this time of the year.
Much love and seasons greetings…..xxxxx
