Description
I am a Stained Glass Artist and teacher living on an acre smallholding in rural West Waterford. Over the winter months I train a wide variety of students in stained glass craft.
During the summer I work on art projects and commissions and I grow a wide variety of fruit and vegetables. I have a large greyhound and a malinois x collie cross that are both rescue dogs.
My cottage is within walking distance of 3 beaches from a small cove to 2 kms of sand and is near to the seaside resort of Youghal which is just over the border in County Cork.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I would be happy to help anyone trying to improve their English, I also spent many years as a community artist and am happy to share that experience as well as my personal interest in stained glass work. This is a quiet rural location but there is access to both Cork and Waterford to explore the Culture of the South East coast of Ireland
Help
I am mostly looking for help with garden maintainence and projects, including light clearance work, fencing projects and working in the organic vegetable garden. I am also hoping to repair the chicken enclosure and I have a 50ft polytunnel that needs attention. Now I am in my sixties the garden is a bit too much for me to maintain especially in high season.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
Insulated wooden cabin in the garden with heating and a bathroom with a toilet and sink with hot water. There is a double sofa bed, desk, cupboard and shelves. I can provide breakfast and one cooked meal a day.
What else ...
Beaches are in walking distance. There is local public transport to Youghal. There is lots to explore in this area. I would be happy to include helpers in excursions if appropriate and to facilitate access to public transport on their days off. This is a quiet rural area and helpers would need to respect this aspect especially as I work from home.
