Introduction

My husband is retired and I work from home part-time as a freelance writer and editor. When we go travelling from our homes in Dorset and France, if we're not taking the dogs with us we like to know that Ruby and Edgar are in safe hands.

Home & location

Our home is in the heart of a pretty village in West Dorset. It's a three-bedroom cottage full of character, with three bedrooms, a cosy living room, hall, two bathrooms and a spacious kitchen/dining room/conservatory all rolled into one
