Description
My name is Rebecca (44), a translator and book author. I was born and raised in the UK, and have spent the past five years living in beautiful northern Spain. I recently moved from a farm in Galicia to a new property in Asturias with mountain views, and would love some company and an extra pair of hands for work in the garden! Bramble clearing and fencing being the main tasks, but I'd also like to start a vegetable garden.
I currently live with my 3 dogs, 3 cats and 7 chickens, all of whom are friendly and well behaved.
I prefer helpers to cook their own meals but I will of course provide the food.
There is phone signal for internet - note that I do not have a WiFi router.
