Description
I'm a Brit (for the moment) in the south of France with a friendly dog and a busy day job. I bought a house thats over 150 years old with my (now ex-) partner that needs a lot of work so there's plenty to do! Besides this, I'm off work for a knee operation for a little while, and it's only just struck me that workaway could be useful while I recover. The house is for sale, and I have a bit of a hoarder streak so help sorting what to keep and what to sell/throw/recycle would be brilliant.

What else ...
Our village is lovely - surrounded by vineyards and located near the Canal du Midi. It has a great very typically french bar, an excellent nearby restaurant, shops and a post office. Nearest garage and cashpoint 8km. We have bicycles that you can use to get around, or you can also take the bus. There is a bus stop 100m from the house and the route goes to Capestang and Béziers for 1.20€ each way Monday - Saturday.
I would ask all smokers not to smoke in the house (we have a large courtyard)
Sorry, but we do not take workawayers under the age of 25.
