    Hello WorkAwayers ................

    *************** Looking for a Girl/Man Friday ...... Could that be you? *****************
    .
    Due to poor health, I fatigue quickly so cannot now do the things I did prior, looking for someone that can do these jobs under instruction if necessary ie. the garden needs some pruning and TLC, and jobs around the home including DIY.
    .
    I live in a small village approx 40 minutes south of Poitiers in a typical 200 years old stone-built village house.
    .
    Your room has been totally and sympathetically completely renovated from bare walls and roof, there is UK TV and good WiFi, if English is not your first language I can help with improving though you must have reasonable English to start with otherwise you will not understand my instructions, I provide 3 meals a day and tea or coffee is available throughout the day.
    .
    I can teach you how to use hand and power tools, I am also able to teach you the basics of playing the guitar, making and baking different types of bread and cooking in general if you so desire.
    .
    I prefer people to stay a minimum of a month.
    .
    I live here with Baboo my dog who likes going for walks, looking forward to hearing from you, have a great day :)
