    Looking for healthy, adventurous and cheerful people to help us with light DIY in an old house and garden in Connemara.

    Nice accomodation and good food in return for help with gardening, painting, moving furniture around and dog minding/walking. The garden needs some help! Anyone with "green fingers" or good DIY would be a blessing.

    We speak differing levels of French, Spanish and German besides English, and we are well travelled and outgoing. We usually have friends and family staying.
