Description
I live in a beautiful part of Ireland, near the sea. I have a vegetable garden which I need some help with, and some general maintenance around the property. There is plenty to do and see in the area, from water activities to night life to walking and cycling. I live close to the famous "Cliffs of Moher" and the Burren.
Lahinch is a very popular place for young people, surfing, golfing, lots of music.
At the moment as I spend most of my time working in Galway, my son Kieran is helping me manage the house and property. Kieran is a musician and is very generous with "lifts" to gigs, etc.Types of help and learning opportunities
