Fred and Sandra are currently living in North East England, UK, travelling as much as possible in the current strange Covid Conditions.
We're originally from the UK, spent a few years in Canada (Prince Edward Island) & there is a lot of information on this site about our permaculture work there. It is there that the name 'Red Sand Cottage' came about, from the famous red sand of the island and then the Red from Fred and the Sand from Sandra! It has kind of stuck with us even though we have now left the island. It will always be an important part of our life and experience, so we are keeping it!
We offer our services such as pet and house-sitting or help on Eco projects and also run a beachcombing business, Sandra Storr Coastal Creations (SSCC Seaham).
If you would like to discuss a project or house-sit with us, please do get in touch.

Pet and House-Sitting

We offer our pet and house-sitting services. Because we are travelling around a bit we cannot have pets of our own, so it's an ideal way for us to lavish some love and care on yours!
You can find our profile and references here (Trusted Housesitters)
We genuinely adore animals and offer loving care for yours from cats & dogs to goats, sheep, ducks & hens. We understand that there is more to caring for pets than just feeding, walking and watering and that they may miss their owners and need lots of tlc and reassurance from us. They will receive plenty of that to keep their spirits up until you return.
Your house and garden will receive responsible care and attention, paying attention to security at all times.
We love gardening and will gladly tend yours! If you grow fruit and vegetables we will harvest and preserve them for your return. Depending on the season, you may even return to find a pot of jam or two!
We'll even undertake small maintenance or decorating projects whilst you're away.
Your privacy is respected and assured.
When you return from your travels, your house will be clean and orderly.
