    Description

    Hello! I am a 73 year granny and I live separately from my daughter Nadia and her 2 daughters, 13 and 6, but in the same house. My other daughter Pen runs the organic farm with a paid worker, so there are lots of animals, i.e. sheep, cattle , 2 donkeys and a pony plus cats and dogs!
    Pen, her husband and 3 children live 100 metres away on the farm at the end of a longish avenue. Apart from when the cousins are playing it is quiet and peaceful. Before I retired I became a Farming for nature ambassador! I love the trees, birds, hens, gardens and Nadia's home grown organic vegetables and we hope you would too..

    Help

    I'd like help working with me in the garden, deadheading, watering, clearing clutter and creating with the children or playing ping pong, badminton, boules on fine days and board games in the evening with me. Also help with feeding the various animals here, the 20 hens, 4 cats, the dog and the wild birds, taking the dog for walks, quite possible with me. Also I'd appreciate help with cooking and tasting your country's food. Basically as I am getting older I just want help in trying to keep my home comfortable, which involves all sorts of things, but nothing very specific and my grandchildren provide entertainment. Help with the computer would be good also.
