Jules & Ric

 

We are an adventurous and creative couple. We both have a background in Art and Design. Jules is a secondary Art and Photography teacher, and Ric runs an educational design website, lightcolourvision.org .

We have recently moved to London from Aotearoa, New Zealand, where we have lived for the last 30 years. We are looking for a spacious double room with an ensuite, if possible, in a friendly home.

Our preference is the Hackney area or Brixton/Streatham area, where we already have friends.

We have lived in a shared home for the last five years, from which we can provide a reference. We can also provide professional references.

Consideration and friendly openness are our strong points, along with a good sense of humour. We both have two adult children, live economically and Tate Modern is our home away from home in London.
