Descrição
We have an ancient woodland in Wales, UK with a lake. There is always a lot of work involved with keeping it functional. We will be spending all of August there and would like to invite nature loving, hard working, sociable couples to spend time making it look beautiful. We will be sharing a fire and good food. You will need a tent- a compost toilet and hot shower are provided. We have shelter for when it is raining and somewhere to dry clothes. Work will include sawing up fallen trees, pulling up Himalayan Balsam and Brambles, clearing paths and streams ( we have fresh drinking water), chopping firewood and some cooking and washing up. We have a boat , charcoal kiln and lots of clay to keep you entertained. We will also have art projects to carry out to beautify the woodland. We regularly host workawayers in Algodonales, Spain. Please refer to our site “ Casa Acequia” to see reviews.

We also learned a lot about… read more

Dennis was fun to have around. He had many skills and was self motivated. He was interested in this place and fitted in well with the other workaways. I loved the way he joined in with our exercise and meditation sessions. He definitely felt “ part of the family”. Thanks Dennis for your skills and great company.

I spent my first workaway experience with Claire and Andrew, and I have to say, I could not have hoped for anything better than this.

We really wish we could have stayed longer with Andrew and Claire. Our 10 days passed by so quickly because there were so many things to experience. We mostly worked around the olive grove in the mornings doing some landscape gardening, painting and bush cutting (i think whipper snipering sounds better). Then we would enjoy a delicious meal… read more
