Description
A mature traveller ex-controls engineer. Now a part-time sculptor
Recently returned from Norway where I was sculpting and helped in the restoration of two historic buildings.
I am currently residing in the South of France.
I'm farm born so practical I know which end to hold a saw and the difference between a nail and screw.
Gregarious but also enjoy my own company.
When not working you’ll find me sculpting with steel, out with my camera or getting lost.
I am seeking longer term stays over the Autum/ winter period preferably outdoor work whether it be horticultural or DIY/building.

Having just spent 8 weeks at Pierre's large home I can only recommend you do too.
Pierre is a fantastic host, hospitable, and lots of fun to be around. From the moment he picked me up at the train station I felt comfortable and welcome.
The work is varied and tailored to your skill set, he welcomes and appreciates your input.

I would like to leave positive feedback hence my delay in leaving some but my conscience will not let me.
So, in consequence of my experience, I can not recommend a stay here.

After my stay at le Mas de la Fontaine I can only recommend you do too.

Having spent the spring with Michele I can only recommend a stay with her.
She has a great sense of humour and we spent many hours swapping tales of our travels.
Her beautiful home is rural and quiet with good walks close by.
The work I did while staying with her was varied mainly outdoors in her large garden.
Michele is a good cook so if you… read more

Having just spent two months with Ben and Lorraine I can highly recommend them as workaway hosts. I felt relaxed and at ease in their home from the first day both are great cooks so if you enjoy good food you won't go hungry.

Wow. Where to start . . . What a lovely guy is Chris (Trot).
He stayed with us for a month and really became one of the family. Friendly, warm, considerate, conscientious and knows so much in his field - and beyond, without 'going on' about it.
We enjoyed many conversations over meals on all subjects.

Christopher (although he prefers to be called 'Trot') is a very good asset to have around if you need lots of stuff done and wish to give either no or minimal instructions: basically he can do joinery, welding, plastering and a bunch of other stuff!!! He is a good cook, an excellent conversationalist and has a great understanding of living in a… read more
