Beschreibung
Hello explorers! We are a hard working family of five looking for enthusiastic helpers to help with family chores and aupairing here on a hill in West Wales. We live on a beautiful small holding near to the seaside town of Tywyn. My husband have spent a lot of our life together so far bringing up the kids, renovating houses and up to our knees in mud or rock of some description.
I am a part time beauty therapist and run an air bnb, contribute to running a few charities and cook most of the meals. My husband is an engineer in a chocolate factory and he enjoys mountain biking and teaching the kids trials riding in his spare time. workaway continually brings us different perspectives on the world and we really cherish the insight others can bring to our home environment, be it through your organisational skills, ability to cook a nutritious colourful meal or for the conversation you bring.
We are quiet and gentle people who have a vision to make our little part of wales into somewhere more people can enjoy. We are starting a small vegetable patch in the untamed gardens and there is a little steam train stop at the bottom of the field. We are quite rural but near a cycle route to the nearby town of Tywyn which has rail links all over the Uk. We live in an old welsh house with a log burner which we renovated ourselves-it keeps us dry and is big enough to play hide and seek in. We are quite non linear in our approach to life and go with the flow as well as setting silly goals to finish projects. We are adaptable and welcome whatever life throws at us!

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Being here is a good way to experience family life in a bilingual household. You may learn how to play uno, how to build a Lego pirate ship or how to find paw patrol on Netflix. You may decide to flick through our workaway cookbook left by all the volunteers who stayed here and create a culinary masterpiece. You may write a book or take time to reflect.You may discover the hills and mountains of southern snowdonia or enjoy the road and mountain biking surrounding us. Bring a sense of adventure and fun along with a good book as we're quite rural unless you get on your bike and decide to go to the nearby town. We can advise you on walks nearby and you may have the opportunity to go to some local events, but really we're quite quiet, work hard, go to bed early, eat well and relax.

I needed a place I could relax in after a busy lambing season. Katy and Aled provided me with one.
