    Description

    Hello, we are Nadine and Frange and our cats Parrochi and Phoebe. We live at the foot of the mountains in Asturias in the district of Llanes in a small hut with 7000 square meters of land. The nearest neighbor is 300 meters away and the Atlantic is 13 km away. There is also a creek with a small waterfall nearby, where you can take a refreshing bathWe work in Germany for about half a year and live in Asturias for the other half. There we raise ecological vegetables, plant fruit trees, bake full corn bread with sourdough, and decorate our hut and the rolling home. We are looking for friendly people (preferably with a car or motorbike) who want to look after our hut and cat from now until about mid-March. There is always a lot of work in the garden like weeding, mowing the lawn and making firewood for the next winter. We have also a bike, which can be used.

    Hallo, wir sind Nadine und Frange mit den Katzen Phoebe( Fibi) und Parrochi. Wir leben am Fuss der Berge in Asturien im Bezirk Llanes in einer kleinen Hütte mit 7000 qm Land. Der nächste Nachbar ist 300 m entfernt, so daß wir es ohne Autoverkehr oder Hundegebell wirklich ruhig haben und den Atlantik mit wundervollen naturbelassenen kleinen Buchten erreicht mensch nach 13 km. In der Nähe fließt auch ein Fluss mit kleiner Wasserfall-Badestelle.Wir arbeiten ca. ein halbes Jahr in Deutschland und leben die andere Hälfte in Asturien. Dort bauen wir Gemüse ohne Pestizide an, pflegen ein Kräuter Beet, pflanzen Obstbäume, backen Vollkornbrot mit Sauerteig, verschönern unsere Hütte und das Rolling Home. Wir suchen freundliche Menschen(am besten mit Auto oder Motorrad), die unsere Hütte mit den unkomplizierten Katzen hüten wollen. Im Garten gibt es immer viel zu tun wie die Beete vom Beikraut freihalten, die Wiese mähen,etc. Brennholz für den Winter muss auch immer gesägt und gespalten werden.Ein Fahrrad kann auch benutzt werden. Wir würden uns über Menschen mit Interesse an Gartenarbeit und ökologischen Gemüseanbau freuen. Im Haus soll nicht geraucht werden.
