BBC Radio Berkshire: Home Exchange Featured Today

Listen to Home Base Holidays' seasoned radio star, Jo Piercey, talk about her family's home exchange experiences on the Sarah Walker Show, BBC Radio Berkshire, this afternoon at around 2 pm GMT. Jo has become Radio Berkshire's home exchange expert and has been invited to take part in live studio discussions at least twice before. I think Jo should be paid a retainer! It's not surprising that she has been invited back again as Jo has a natural, relaxed style, perfect for radio. Her enthusiasm for the benefits of home exchange holidays is obvious, and she fields those awkward questions radio presenters sometimes ask in live interviews (like 'but what about these strangers riffling through my knicker drawer?') with great finesse!

If you aren't able to listen live to the slot on home exchange live today, the Sarah Walker Show will be available on BBC iPlayer after the show finishes at 4 pm.

The photo below is of the Piercey family and was published in an excellent article on home exchange, How to get a gorgeous holiday home for free, in the Daily Mail.

 

The Piercey family's exchange offer in the pretty village of Cookham Dean, Berkshire:

Circa 1903 sympathetically restored & extended cottage with big mature garden (fruit trees, grapevine, willow etc). Several character pubs within walking distance. Local shops 1 mi away. Nearby Thames for boating, river trips, fishing etc.

Heathrow 15 mi (25 min by car), Gatwick 50 mi (1 hr), London 35 mins, Oxford 45 mins, Cambridge 1.5 hrs, Bath 1 hr, Stonehenge 1.5 hrs.

We are experienced exchangers having swapped around 13 times! All great experiences! It is the only sort of vacation the children know and they are used to respecting the homes of others. Our 18 year old may or may not be with us this year.

**Note: exchange includes use of 3 bd seaside cottage in the World Heritage Site, Dorset. See the full exchange offer and more photos, HE1704
