Swapping is very exciting and important, so please let me know if you didn't receive something we sent or you felt we didn't meet the requirements. A "5" rating is important!

We're originally from England but living in beautiful Seattle with a Beagle. The main hobbies in our household are knitting, baking, drawing and painting.

A perfect day:

Wake up early after a good night's sleep and not need to work that day. Take a few photos, see some friends for a picnic lunch and start drawing or writing. Maybe visit a farm...

Next up is relaxing with a cup of strong black tea (with milk, of course!), biscuits and a good book. Or knitting something while watching a vintage movie or TV show.

The evening is either spent going out on the town with close friends or after cooking a meal curl up in front of a fireplace with a window to see the stars.

We can all dream, right? :)
