Description
I am a dairy farmer I also have sheep, bees and a garden. I live with my mother who also helps with the milking and the hens are hers. There is also a workman who lives in the house with us. It is a busy place as there is always something to be done. My mum does most of the cooking and food is never in short supply or meal times. My nieces and nephew come to stay at times. We are a very friendly house.

I would love some help with the garden and around the yard to strim or cut the long grass to make the place look clean. The farm could do with a hand to help maintain it. Help with the animals and the bees too (if one wants to learn) would be great too

We stayed with Geraldine for two weeks and had a great time. We learned something new about beekeeping and working with sheep. Geraldine was very friendly and we instantly felt like we are at home. She took us to the Beara peninsula ( Greetings to Ernie ;) ) and showed us some beautiful places around Clonakilty.
