Peter and Debbie arrived to stay for three nights this week, and were on their travels through France and Spain. Originally from Australia, Debbie is currently living in London and her partner Peter still lives in Sydney.

They collected their hire car in France and travelled down through the countryside before crossing [...]

They had driven from their home near Grenoble in France, and were on the way to Andalucía for a well earned break from the organic farm that they run.
