House Sitting Magazine: Issue 33 October 2020

FRIENDSHIP & COMMUNITY DURING THE TIME OF COVID

by Sandy Ball We are Sandy & Rob and you can find us at BritsHousesitting.com. Along the way we have made some lovely friends among fellow house sitters. When we were heading to Australia in February 2020, back in the days when everything was still normal, our initial sit in the Mornington Peninsula meant we were close to, and able to meet friends, Jacqueline and Glenn, who had done this same sit before. They even came to stay with us.

As this was their local area we had some great days out sightseeing and of course got to share the pets. So now we’ve managed to meet “The Aussie Lambs”, in England, Mexico, Scotland and two states in Australia.

Whilst on this sit we also had expert local background knowledge - the best wineries, and birthday and anniversary lunches - shared from Ian and Lloyd, the “Pet Sit Boys”, who we’d met twice in the UK. More from them later.
