Beschreibung

Hi I'm Mark I've done workaway for a few years. Fay and I returned to work with a few of the hosts I met on my travels last year. We intend to travel again after Christmas 2023 to meet new hosts.
I started my working life as a diesel mechanic, then moved into farming with some arable but manly dairy. After 10 years as a herdsman I took on my parents small holding where I've farmed sheep, goats, pigs, turkeys, cows etc for the last 21 YEARS.
During this time I've been self employed working for local people doing all sorts of work like building a garage, flagging, roof repairs, cutting gardens, looking after church grounds, painting ect. 5 years ago I started 3 days a week as an engineer where I work with hydraulics. I have also fully renovated the farm I live in plus a holiday home in the lake district. I have 3 great kids that are grown up now and have their own lives.
Hi, I'm Fay a retired primary and secondary English teacher ( worked in teaching for 25 years). I now work in admin but have worked in many different fields; dentistry, care work, managing a mobile Covid testing team and spent last summer supervising a team of ice cream van drivers, servicing their ice cream machines and organising stock. I love crochet, growing flowers and exploring the environment.
Mark and I live happily together and the animals have now been sold to give us more freedom to travel. We really enjoy visiting different places abroad, we enjoy meeting local people and learning about different ways of life more than doing the tourist thing.
We are happy to work hard in most conditions (Mark spent 12 months in Australia fruit picking in the early days). We're easy going and looking forward to meeting new people and learning how things are done in different countries.
