Beschreibung
Amanda (half French) language teacher and entrepreneur, moved back to the Gers to an old farmhouse near Jegun almost 11 years ago. End of track situation amongst rolling hills. 3.5 hectares. 2 dogs, 3 cats, 3 horses - Arab, Lippizaner horse and 'BugBug' the Shetland
I live in the main house and the other end of the long farmhouse is an independent 3 bedroom 2 bathroom holiday home. I always need help with small decorating jobs, tidying, spring cleaning in the house, and outside always lots of trimming/cutting down/strimming trees & shrubs. Weeding flower beds, and lts of small maintenance jobs.
For someone with good woodwork skills, there are a couple of fun projects!
Plus always tidying up huge old barns. It's a peaceful situation with fabulous views of Pyrenees (1.5 hours away) . I have a swimming pool that's open May-Oct.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
all about living in the Uk, living in France - I am an experienced language teacher in English & French and am happy to exchange lessons. Passionate about eco products.
Arbeit
I need someone/people good with woodwork and general maintenance- fixing barn, helping to tidy up grounds, fencing. Helping with trimming trees and pruning, veg garden.
I live in hope that one day someone may love sewing! and make cushions etc

Unterkunft
Out of season I offer luxury holiday accommodation next to the house where there are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I love having couples who are self contained and who enjoy our place. I give money for food, the system works well. It's also better for our Workaways to have their own transport since it's
quite a walk to Jegun.
Was noch ...
Auch 17 mins by car buses available in Jegun (7 mins away by car) . Toulouse is 1 hour by car, trains from Auch. I can take volunteers to bus stop/train station. Jegun is a friendly village with a bar ( is also an irish pub!), restaurant, Casino supermarket. Vic Fezensac is 15 minutes by car.
Ideal for country lovers, but for weekends lots of culture & city life in Auch & Toulouse if wanted. Beautiful for walking/cycling. Local chateaux etc for culture vultures. Little local concerts most weekends in villages.
I am very friendly, but equally respect that volunteers (and me) need 'me-time'. I am used to receiving foreign students for language courses and exchanging cultural ideas/cooking etc

The holiday home that we stayed in was excellent. Really comfortable and practical.
The work that we did wasn’t too strenuous but while we were there, there was a bit of a heat wave so it was definitely sweaty work. Colin and Amanda were really understanding of this and were happy for us to work until… read more
ist was a fantastic two weeks stay at your Vinery.
You gave us really interesting and varied tasks and problems we could solve on our own.
Even if it was hard or really time consuming work it was beautiful to see what our work changed and how happy you are with it.
You both are really kind people which made our stay even… read more
We are absolutely thrilled with everything they did for us. The first job was a very heavily weeded big flower bed which took ages, then masses of horse manure, it hasn't looked so… read more

The many tasks in the house and garden were very varied and easy to do. Amanda and Colin left the organisation and planning of the tasks to us. This allowed us to organise our weekends very flexibly. A trip to the… read more
