    Description

    Living 25mins north of Pau in a village called Simacourbe.
    A house made into 2 parts. You would be staying with me upstairs in 2 bed appartment. You would have a twin room but share the bathroom with me.
    With great view of the Pyrenees from the garden & upstairs.
    I wouldn't ask you to do anything that I was not prepared to do myself but unfortunately I have shoulder problems, heart & no longer able to do it on my own.
    I really could do with some help to get it back to how it looked 2 years ago.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    If u have not done a lot of gardening before willing to show you how to use the tools etc & we would have a laugh doing all the jobs that need doing. I always feel if you make things fun time goes quicker & the jobs get done.
    If you are looking to learn more about the English way of life or learn more English you could end up speaking English with a Bristolian accent, not a bad thing!
