Beschreibung
We are presently at home in Scotland but we will be available again in the autumn for assignments in Europe. 😻
We are Rosy and Henry, a mature couple currently on sabbatical from our regular work as teacher and artist based in Edinburgh. We are passionate about the arts and until recently, we managed an arts and well-being studio where art and basket making were taught, music, drama, dance rehearsals and events took place and Pilates and yoga were practised. Henry plays mbira and we both love West African percussion, drumming and dance. We are fast walkers, keen cyclists, happy gardeners, enthusiastic vegetarian/vegan cooks, and novice yogis. In recent years, we have hosted many workawayers, been active workawayers ourselves and have enjoyed many wonderful cultural exchanges. Now, we are ready for new challenges and adventures and eager to travel again. As we are both creative, practical and have a lifetime's worth of various skills, we can turn our hands to most tasks. Since we are keen to improve our Italian, Italy would be our destination of choice. However, we would consider other locations depending on the experiences and opportunities these would provide.

Rosy and Henry are the best workawayers someone would look for. They overworked and they seemed to be part of the project and not here just to accomplish their tasks. They were proactive and super kind, always nice and very positive. I really admire them as people and although the place is still at its beginning their attitude boosted lot my… read more

It was a delight to experience the Scottish equivalent of summer days during the month of November in Manduria with Simona and Sandro, even if we caused a bit of a stir at the local market by wearing shorts, T-shirts and sandals! Throughout our stay we felt very much at home and enjoyed Simona's positive, can do attitude to all things. She was… read more

Irina embodies the true spirit of workaway, having been a workawayer herself. We found her to be a welcoming, considerate and generous host. She was flexible with regard to the work schedule and often worked alongside us. Irina introduced us to her friends and included us in her social gatherings. She made sure that in our free time we were able… read more

With Rosy and Henry we had the strangest workaway experience. Unfortunately we have to leave our first negative feedback because we are very disappointed by their behaviour.
They stayed with us about 10 days and during this time they helped us with cleaning, chestnuts collection and some little home maintenance. They were very pleasant,… read more

Rosy & Henry were the most wonderful guests, who fitted in straight away with our odd collection of WorkAwayers from all over the world. They quickly settled in to looking after the rest of us amazingly with their never ending repertoire of delicious soups and veggie dishes, while also spending lots of time creatively remodelling the garden. They… read more

We spent a fabulous fortnight at Nick's house in Edinburgh. Nick is a welcoming and relaxed host who gave us autonomy to organise our work schedule and to focus on the tasks we felt best suited to. During our stay there were several other Workawayers at the house and we enjoyed being part of a community of fun, hard-working volunteers. There was a… read more

We have insisted many times with this wonderful Duo to stay longer with us, but unsurprisingly enough another host was already waiting for them.
The concept advocated by Workaway of welcoming a volunteer and greeting a friend prior to his departure has bloomed with this encounter and we are all very fond of this.

Giacomo, Agnes and their family were warm, caring and considerate hosts. We have lovely memories of sharing lunches with numerous family members, neighbours, guests, friends and other workawayers and being treated to delicious traditional Ligurian recipes. Work on the estate was varied but rewarding and it was a pleasure to free their century old… read more

What a delight to have Rosy and Henry here with us: always cheery and pleasant and eager, hard workers. Sometimes, the only complaint? Getting them to go "off duty"!
And Henry's freshly-baked bread was an extra surprise. We truly enjoyed their company and having them join us for lunchtime - and although they are both vegans, providing them foods… read more

Rosy and Henry were a joy to have around - fun and interesting. They worked really hard, in fact harder than we thought they should at times! If something needed doing, they didn't have to be asked - perfect! They integrated happily with our circle of friends. We recommend them highly.

A marvellous couple. They stayed with us for 15 days in July 2012, and it's been everything perfect! They cooked for us marvellous lunch and dinner, with love and fantasy. They took care of our house and animals better then me! They don't have fear of working hard and they never stop! I suggest them to all the host because they are fantastic… read more

Grazie Claudia and Michele for making us feel so welcome. We enjoyed both helping with the B&B and looking after the animals. Thanks also for taking time to ferry us to and from the train station to allow us to explore the region and for the evening trips to Perugia and Lake Trasimeno. We learned a lot from our time spent with you and it was an… read more
