    =============
    I am looking for a strong person to help with hedge cutting and garden / outside house maintenance starting towards the summers end for a couple of weeks + and autumn cleaning . We will work together at times but someone who is able to also work on their own at times would be good.You don't need to be a gardener but you do need to love working outside in peace and quiet. Although we will share some meals together, sometimes we will be out or unavailable so you may be on your own too.It is important that you can cook well as we need to share cooking and cleaning up too. PLEASE READ BELOW as it's very important. There may be an opportunity to work longer.
    We are sometimes naturist / clothes optional especially if the sun comes out so if you come here please be open. Many Workaways have really enjoyed it here over the years. We eat vegetarian a couple of days a week but most days eat meat, we mention this as its not easy to cook for different diets.

    If you have any questions at all please just ask. I leave below our old description. Thanks for reading this. Ana is Portuguese Chris British.
