Currently seeking urgent house help & lots of odd outside jobs, a person who enjoys sewing to finish my unfinished projects, a wall to be put up to help extend the kitchen, changing the old milking parlour into a workshop & moving tools into it. Lots of outside odd jobs tidying & help with marketing the machinery to be sold on the internet. Fallen trees to be cut up & bought in for the winter.

My time on the farm was wonderful. With lots of sunshine and exciting and varied work, I used the time in Normandy to relax a little between trips. The farm is far away from all "life" but thanks to the bike I was allowed to use and the entrepreneurial spirit of Penny and Stephan, I ended up in many places in Normandy. Especially the food from… read more

Vom Workawayer (Cindy & Albert) für Host

The location is peaceful and quiet with some lovely walks in nature nearby. The farm has changed so now there are a few cows, some chickens and a very sweet duck!

I did cleaning in the house and made a hanging planter for strawberries. Penny and Stephan were very welcoming and made me feel at home.

I spent 3 weeks with Penelope and Stephen. It was an absolutely unique experience for me as a former farmer. I’ve got a lot of new information about farming in Normandy. I do love cows and rural life and it was the right place for me. There wasnt much to do at that time, so I had a lot of time for walking and reading. Penelope is a brilliant cook.… read more
