Beschreibung
Hi We're Andy and Fran - semi-retired,late 50's keen to explore the world. We're reliable, fit and healthy with a lot of experience and a great work ethic. Beach holidays and cruises aren't for us ... we'd much rather get stuck into a project while we're away. We're 'Nomads' with an independent income so committing to longer term projects won't be problem.
We've renovated houses, looked after an allotment for 12 years, worked at all sorts of festivals and so have gained some valuable skills that we're keen to share.
We love cycling, music, hiking, skiing, tennis and discovering new places and meeting new people.

Andy and Fran are a wonderful couple and we so enjoyed having them here with us and can not wait for them to return.
They are extremely capable and add huge value working as a team or individually. Their respect for our home, our project was genuine and thoughtful.

Vom Workawayer (Andy & Frances) für Host für (Share an adventure with us ...)

Linda and Pete are extremely welcoming and friendly hosts who have worked extremely hard to turn the Chateau into such a fabulous home. We instantly felt like we'd met friends when we arrived. There's certainly plenty to do at the chateau and we got stuck in to all sorts of interesting projects. We partly shared our workaway experience with… read more

vom Host (Help with sustainable ...) für Workawayer (Andy & Frances)

Fran and Andy were a huge help and a delight to have stay with us. In fact, we enjoyed their company so much that we have invited them to come back in Spring, not only to help with more work but also to Housesit for us so that we can get away for a holiday. Despite a couple of VERY wet days during their 2 week stay with us, they did not let this… read more

vom Host für Workawayer (Andy & Frances)

Andy and Fran volunteered with us for two weeks in August 2019. They have plenty of experience and a very useful range of skills, positive attitude and great sense of humour, which made them really valuable members of the small team we had staying. Among other things, Andy stripped and painted an external door, made a new gate, put a roof on a hen… read more
