From 10 November to 15 December we are looking for a person or couple to help with tidying and organising the vegetable garden, the garden and some rooms in the house. If you like to do this, we are waiting for you!! ;-))))
Hi! We are Emanuela (Italian 1970) and Peter (Swiss 1966)... and Nespolo and Mora (our cats).
In 2019 Peter and I bought a beautiful little stone house (which is about 150 years old) and a small piece of land (500sqm) in the beautiful town of Montecrestese.
The intention was and is, to live more soberly, to use our hands to create and self-produce (part of) what we need, to value relationships and exchange with people and with the wonderful Nature that surrounds us ... to try to be more and more independent from an economic, cultural and social system in which we do not recognize ourselves. But above all to participate consciously in Life.
This was our dream. We had to make some (or many) adjustments to our "vision", because things don't always work out the way we want them to. The most important thing I have learned is not to feel guilty and to appreciate what I have, and what I could do. Sometimes I forget how lucky I have been and I am.
What can you learn from us ?
You can learn the way we have chosen to live, see its merits and demerits, successes and failures ... Perhaps to better understand how you would like to live.
Life is movement and fluidity. ☀️
What do we expect from you?
Help and sharing in all activities: home and garden tidying and cleaning, gardening, harvesting, food transformation, reorganizing spaces, choping wood, feeding and playing with cats ... and playing board games! (we love them :)
What you will find.
Moments of tranquility and beauty.
Lots of places to explore or "meditate."
Neighbors project of younger people.
Please note: I work from Monday till Friday from 9.30am till 2.30pm . Peter works from October till June in Bern, CH. So during these months he is mostly in Bern.
