Orla is a journalist currently working from home and Ken lectures on environmental management. We have four children, three girls aged 17, 11 and 9 and a boy aged 14. We have lived in Munster Street for the past 12 years and have very good neighbours here. We had our first, very successful exchange with a Parisian family in July 2012 and are now keen to visit France again!
