    I now need help with painting walls, moving books, cleaning and preparing wood for the winter. I sometimes need help fence making and repairing, feeding and checking the water for horses is a daily job and it depends where they are grazing as to whether it is possible to go in the car or on foot. The horses are not rideable Other animal care is walking dog just one hour a day and feeding the dog if I am at work.

    I live in the country just outside a Castel del Piano, 10 min on foot into town. I have one dog and 2 horses.
    The town has everything basic that one needs. In winter seeing as we live also on a mountain, it's twenty minutes up to the ski slopes and in summer one hour away from the beach, that's in the opposite direction. Pubblic transport is bus and can take you to the nearest cities like Grosseto (45 minutes), Florence (2 and a half hours) and Siena (one hour and a half). Rome(3 hours and a half) by bus and train, the station in Grosseto. I am mostly vegetarian but eat fish, cheeses and also sometimes meats . I havn't got a television but have unlimited internet.
    I live in an old house, a few things where I live are modern, but I live in absolute SIMPLICITY. The house is heated by wood only in the winter and therefore is cold in some parts at some times of the day. In the summer it is fresh inside compare to the heat outside. The hot water is available in the evening twice a week. I usually shop once or twice a week and am happy if you come with me to choose your food. I am prepared to cook one meal a day, although sometimes it will be prepared the day before. Therefore breakfast you will get for yourselves and one meal you will need to prepare, unless I am home. I am flexible when you work and usually make a list of things to be done and let you choose which jobs you would like to do.

    I am very busy with my work as an osteopath but I try to work 3 long days a week and have off 2 days to dedicate to the farm. You will have some time working alone but I try to do work together with you when I can.

    I dont have alot of money to spend on guests.
