The family live on a houseboat on a private Island on the Thames, It really is a very special place totally like no other.

o Filling of post and paperwork
o Internet research as required
We are both in our late 30’s, Lorna works in film / TV and Paul works in the drinks industry / HR. Both outgoing, fun, social and easy to get along with.
