Hello! I live in an amazing part of France with one cat and one dog in a big countryside french farmhouse. My daughters are away studying and my son only here on weekends.
I have been living in this house in this part of the south west France for many years, gradually renovating and restoring as I can. I do many things, and have also completed a similar project in restoring an entire house close to Bordeaux.
This year we have adopted a new dog, unfortunately our last faithful companion of 15 years passed away and now we have Suki , a young energetic German shepherd cross who needs love, attention and lots of walks!
I am working on improving my main house as it is so big and overwelming to get this done all by myself! Any help with this will be very much appreciated. I also have many projects in the garden such as pruning, felling trees, burning off areas, installing outside barbecue spaces, outdoor living. My pool is in need of an upgrade to so lots of areas to learn! I am experienced in building, electricity, plumbing, architectural plans so can offer lots of things to learn. I am looking for help in all of these projects It is a 15 century building with old stone walls, fireplaces, lots of potential and charm so I am looking for motivated and dynamic people that can try their hand at any type of renovating, organising, tidying, cooking, gardening etc
At the moment (June/July 2022) I am looking for independent and reliable people , would consider couples and is probably ideal for 2 friends or regular couple , to take care of my house as I am often in Bordeaux in the day time, plus walk Suki and help with gardening’s and household tasks, especially ironing and gardening! I know too that many of the workaway community needs paid work and I have friends and contacts in the vineyard and building industry and try to help people where I can to find small jobs for people with the right skills.
I prefer longer stay workawayers to build better relationships so ask a minimum 2 week stay.
Looking forward to hearing from you! ;)

Alojamiento
In a 15th century building, 60cm thick stone walls, fireplace and wood burning stove to heat in winter. You will have a private room and a shared bathroom. We are working on the main house and renovating the bathroom and main living areas but the house is big and plenty of space to get away from the working area when needed!
Food included during your stay.
, I follow a healthy low carb diet, mostly vegetables bought from farmers' markets when possible and avoid processed foods. I do also eat meat. ;-) Anyone liking cooking is welcome as well! I provide you with food for 3 meals per day on your working days or when at the house. When we go on outings, visiting etc on the weekends which are not obligaratory, you should cover these costs yourself.
Algo más...
Saint Emilion is 15 kilometers away, a Unesco classed village. There is a bicycle path that goes for 100's of kms from just down the road, traversing vineyards and fields, and going all the way to the sea. Underground caves and tunnels in the vicinity. Note that we are in a rural area, closest bus stop 4 kms away.....
