Description
I am 45 and need some help getting my garden in order. I live in Ovens, County Cork. 10kms away from Cork city on a good bus route. Near Lee Valley golf club and other sporting venues. I am four years in my newly built home. Ovens is a lovely location near lots of amenities in beautiful countryside.
I share my home with my dog Gilli , she is a blonde labrador who is very friendly.
I am looking for help to do some weeding, clean paths and to help me build a lean to glass house. Maybe some help with Gilli and some light house tasks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You will be sharing my home during your stay and have your own bedroom and bathroom.
I like to cook a variety of meals, fish, meat, vegetarian of different styles. I also like to bake.
At weekends I like to go to the coast and get a walk or swim in, long walk with my dog and grab some food.
This is a non smoking house.
Three weeks would be a maximum duration.
