Hi
I've been a single mum for a couple decades and now they've all flown the coop, so I'm back in adventure mode!
My employment background is education & environmental work, currently doing supply teaching.
I'm practical & creative, happy to have a go at most things. As far as what I can offer, I wouldn't make contact if I thought the tasks required were beyond my capability.
I like cooking healthy food. Love nature, art, music, friendly people & going down roads I've never been on before.
I'm hoping to avoid summer in Australia, heading to the UK round the end of the year, for as long as I can manage.

vom Host für Workawayer (Janeen)

Janeen is a terrific person with a multitude of abilities and endless good humour. She is intelligent, curious, knowledgable, creative and talented. It was lucky for me that she stayed throughout the Covid Spring lockdown during which time she expanded the garden into an empire, showed us all how to forage wild plants, made a rug out of old… read more

This was a perfect arrangement for myself and my hosts. I got to avoid Christmas and they got to attend their extended family celebration. It was a very relaxing place to be with nice walks and a bath room that’s right up there in my favourites! Even the work was pleasant, tending stock. A lovely and very interesting family. We had some great… read more

I had a great few days with Louisa and Aria (& Robyn, remotely). It is as described, a small remote community in an absolutely stunning landscape.
Louisa made time, in a very busy week, to show me her favourite place and some other local sites. I also had time to do a bit of solo exploring and took an incredibly scenic backroad to pick up the… read more

Janeen came to stay for a week, part of the time was to house sit and look after my teenager. She communicated clearly in planning the visit and throughout her stay. Janeen is friendly, sociable and fitted into family life easily. She cooked great meals and 'held the fort' whilst I was away without any problems. Thanks for your help Janeen.

We only had a few days together but I really enjoyed Jansen's company, and she helped me crack in with some packing and cleaning, while we enjoyed a chat. A lovely positive lady who was just the person to make me feel like it wasn't an insurmountable task. I'd be delighted to meet Janeen again!

Janeen is a character - she is always busy doing something, cooking up meals from all sorts, digging up ground, advising on and acting on different projects. She is knowledgeable, interesting and interested in everything going on. She makes the most of her stays and always takes up any opportunities that come her way. A bit of a rough diamond (in… read more

Having Janeen here was like balm. She's so caring and thoughtful with masses of empathetic practical skills and is also fantastically brainy! It's so easy for anyone she comes into contact with to benefit from this combo. Anything is possible when she's around and we really benefitted from her resourcefulness and loving outgoing personality. It… read more

I had a lovely time with Trish. To walk welcomed into a stranger’s home and leave feeling you have another friend is a special experience. Beautiful place, lovely people. Jobs that most often felt like fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the company of Trish and Ben, her other Workawayer. Looking forward to visiting again.
Love you!

I only had a short stay here as I didn’t feel comfortable, although I was assured it wasn’t inconvenient.

Janeen stayed four days with us on her way to mid Wales. Janeen is easy to communicate with, she helped with the stable yard, and enjoyed grooming the old stallions. Work was also done in the vegetable garden whilst she was here. In her time off she explored the area. We wish her a happy journey up to Scotland.

I had a last minute stay of just a few days with Myfanwy and Ifor.
They are well used to hosting, making me welcome and allowing me space and time to myself.
I particularly enjoyed grooming the dear old stallions.
I was able to explore the local area between morning and evening shifts, which was great. The nearby village of Aberaeron is very… read more

What a fun few days I had with Ruth and John. I had the pleasure of doing some jobs which felt a lot more like playing than working. Weaving a live willow hedge and collecting holly and ivy for Christmas wreathes. They took me out to an amazing cabaret, which was a special Cardigan treat. We also worked together on tidying up the nursery space. I… read more

I had a great few days at Julie’s. Helping out with various tasks like sorting teaching resources, sawing firewood and experimenting with some seaweed soup recipes ( which was particularly interesting!).
We shared some good conversations and Julie took me (or I took her) to meet some of her friends nearby, who were all very welcoming and… read more

Janeen got in touch just as we were scrambling to find someone to house sit for us over the weekend, so it really couldn't have been better timing. More than that, given we were total strangers (!) we couldn't have hoped for anyone better to leave our home and animals with while we went away for a short break. Janeen fit right in, asked us all the… read more

I house sat and tended animals for Eddy and Emma just for the weekend. I really only had two evenings and a morning of their welcoming company. I left feeling as if I’d known them much longer, as I hoped to do.
It’s a lovely old farmhouse in a gorgeous fold of hills. I slept really well felt right at home.
I’d wholeheartedly recommend a stay with… read more
