Description

I will introduce you to my friends and family and enjoy meals and days out with us.
At the moment im learning the basics of hanggliding , so your welcome to help me or just watch as I rig up the hangglider for test flights.
Help
The work required is very minimal , maybe 2 hrs per day for 3 days a week. So this is my first time to have a new puppy , previously had a older dog , just finding my feet with how to manage him. He's potty trained which is great , 11 weeks old , and quite independent. When I'm out of the house would be great if he could be brought on a short walk , and to generally keep a eye on him.
I'm learning various small things to help with training, so it's implementing some of those. Other than that some very light housekeeping tasks , like occasional sweeping the floor or tidying up the kitchen. I'll will be doing some farm jobs of my own , your welcome to get involved if your interested, but there no obligation to help in that area .

Thanks for the nice stay!
Andrew is a kind, goid-natured guy. His Courtiwn cabin is seaside and very relaxing, away from the busy roads abd a stone's throw from the shore.

Even though I was only there for about 10 days, I got to experience a lot – from visiting the Ploughing Championships and a vintage tractor meeting to herding sheep. You will rarely meet a host who is so keen on you having a good time!
