Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We spend a lot of time in the local village with the local people who are our friends, we socialise with the local expat community which is comprised of a number of different nationalities, we hope to learn more about other cultures and their way of life and customs.
We are also local authority carers and have a number of qualifications regarding that area of expertise that we can talk with you about.
Help
We would love help with clearing the floor of the woodlands and basic gardening tasks, weeding, pruning trees, picking olives etc. someone who is physically fit and passionate about outdoor work, can work alone or in a team. Knowledge of garden machinery is handy.
I spend a lot of time propagating cuttings and plants from seed and love to share knowledge of this. We will also be doing various DIY projects, have outbuildings to clear out, maintenance projects to do and you can help with those if you’d like!
I am a trained chef; but a very rustic cook and will happily hand over my kitchen if you like to cook also.
