Beschreibung
I am a professional photographer (British, resident in Italy 30 + years) living in a renovated farmhouse divided into two separate houses in the beautiful area of the Monferrato region which is part of a UNESCO site, in Piedmont. It is an eco project, powered by photovoltaic panels and wood-fired central-heating. It is on a hill, with a fantastic panoramic view, surrounded by woods and vineyards.

The area is wonderful for walking, running, cycling, horse-riding, photography, creative painting, meditation etc. The towns often have festivals, concerts etc from spring through to late autumn, the area is renowned for its wines and gastronomy- especially truffles! having recently become a UNESCO Heritage Site there is lots to explore around.

Arbeit
In the short term I'm mostly looking for help with the garden, which is about 1/4 hectres, and which requires constant attention. There are flowerbeds to weed, vegetable garden to attend to, a wooded area to clear and wood to cut.
I also need some help with redecorating, cleaning and sprucing up the older part of the house.
More long-term tasks include drystone walls to mend.
I could also do with some IT help with making another website, and other online activities, also scanning transparencies to digital and helping with my photo archive.
I am vegetarian. Meals are shared, but if you want to eat meat you can prepare it yourselves, no problem. -
