  Description

  John [57] and Hayley [50], we are an English couple living in Kateslovo, Ruse, Bulgaria. We have a traditional bulgarian house dating back 150 years or more with a 2200 sq meter garden. We are keen cyclists and walkers and like to explore our surrounding area with its history of rock churches and monastery's, Roman and Thracian ruins and local wildlife. We both enjoy the peacefulness of the house and village which fits in well with Hayley's business of online Shift, Creation Coaching and Reflexology.
  We have 2 friendly bouncy dogs and 2 cats.
  
  We are opening our doors to 'workways', as we have both travelled extensively and want to repay some of the kindness that has been shown to us over the years.
  
  We would like help getting the vegetable patch working more productively also help with renovating the house and outbuildings.
