  Carpentry skills, building, repairing, fencing, metal work, plumbing knowledge would be extremely welcomed.
  
  There is potential for fun art and sculpture projects for the right person,and decorating etc.
  This summer some beautiful vegetables are growing successfully along with new baby poultry.
  Many wild plants available to forage,

  chutneys, cider vinegar, bottled fruit, fermented veg, dehydrated from
  Produce.
  
  During the last year, loads has been achieved inside the farmhouse and out including improved heating system, and digging large pond, clearing land and turning a rubbish tip into a little Japanese water garden. .
  
  A lot further to go!
  
  There is natural clay from the land to make pottery and sculpture,
  No kiln presently although I do have ceramics background and some pottery tools.
  If you can make a kiln let me know!!!
  Plenty of art and sewing materials.
  Cosy cottage with open fireplace on chilly evenings.
  Comfortable warm bedrooms in the cottage,
  camping space and caravan. Please state if you are willing to share with same gender volunteer: this flexibility will allow more chance of a space being available.
  Presently I am not able to offer strict veg, other allergy or vegan diets.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  I will share my lifestyle and am happy to chat, so this could improve your English,
  Because I can accommodate several volunteers at once, you are likely to meet other interesting people here to work and share leisure activities with which could lead to ongoing friendships, as has been the case since I started hosting. Definitely volunteers have helped improve each others language skills.
  
  I will share my knowledge and practical know how on building maintenance, gardening, cooking and art, so hopefully a great learning experience.
  
  I hope you will be inspired by my vision, both for the land here and hopefully be useful input for your own future projects
