Help
We are looking for good all round persons who appreciate the countryside, are independant have lots of common sense do not mind getting dirty, grass to cut, painting in the house & general cleaning or cooking the daily meal is a help. We can fetch & carry only from the train or bus arriving & departing from St Lo this is if you arrive without transport. We warmly welcome people with camper vans as there is plenty of space to chill out here, must understand & be at ease with animals. The farm is a no smoking & or vapping. Currently seeking urgent house help & lots of odd outside jobs, a person who enjoys sewing to finish my unfinished projects, a wall to be put up to help extend the kitchen, changing the old milking parlour into a workshop & moving tools into it. Lots of outside odd jobs tidying & help with marketing the machinery to be sold on the internet. Fallen trees to be cut up & bought in for the winter. Please note we do not need help with animals they are out to grass all year round grazing, it is not a petting farm and the rest of the land is sold for standing grass being made into silage or hay, the sheep come in for lambing in December.

I did cleaning in the house and made a hanging planter for strawberries. Penny and Stephan were very welcoming and made me feel at home.

I would have stayed longer except for the French and English lockdown spoiling everything
Thankyou Penelope and… read more
