Description
I am Michèle, I am in my early seventies and I have just left the old farm where I spent many years and moved to an old house in the village.
This house needs a lot of TLC and I need help with alterations, redecorating and looking after the garden.
I am always interested in meeting new people.
I am retired but used to travel a lot for work, I now wish to welcome people in my home.
I am involved in various local groups : Italian cultural centre ( I lived in Italy for 20 years) and the twinning of the village with another village in Northern Tuscany.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

Although life at home is quiet, nice views and plenty of books. I do go out a lot as I am a member of various cultural groups. This will give you an opportunity to meet a lot of people.
