Easy going and friendly people. We love houses that are homes, warm and modern designs, art, architecture and music. We travel as much as we can and do so as often as possible. On shorter trips we explore the shores off Australia in our Coaster Bus. We love the outdoors, sunrises, sunsets, vineyards, good food, fishing, bush walking and bike riding. Angeline is Irish and runs a small Marketing Company and also manufactures branded merchandise mainly for the automobile industry. xx
