Description
I'm a potter, musician. We live in countryside la creuse center of France, very low population, beautiful villages and woods.
You will need a driving license if you want to get to town. I play carnatic music on the bansuri (flute) and i sing hindi songs... Eileen (my daughter) is allergic to milk, eggs and bed mites so there's a lot of cooking to be done and i could use help for that too : all biscuits and cakes must be homemade without egg or milk, vegans are welcome, vegetarians also although we eat some meat occasionally. I'll show you around the pottery workshop which was founded in 1979. There is a big family garden there.
