Hi Bev,
thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I was thinking more south because of the weather. I'm really after finding someone who has accommadation set up for when people visit them and rather than it lie empty for months at a time i thought it would be a way of earning some extra money for someone.

I'm really just after getting away for awhile from the humdrum rat race here, to have a bit of me time.

I do know an english couple from where i live in Kent who are also looking into things where they live in France, so i'm hoping something will come up soon.

Karen
