    Help

    we're looking for some help with a variety of tasks, and we’ll figure out what works best based on your skills, preferences, our priorities, and of course, the weather and the season. Here’s what we’re working on:

    In the garden: The plants need pruning based on the season, and the lawn needs mowing.

    Around the house: we have some parts of walls to wash and if necessary to repaint in some parts, plus a few bits and bobs that need fixing.

    Since we’re tackling these projects over time, some things might already be done by the time you arrive. Just let us know if you’d like an update on what’s finished!
