Description
I am going to offer respite for people who care for relatives at home. There is lots of work to do on my house and garden and orchard to make it even close to what I want it to be. That's where I could really use some help. I have my mother living with me and it is this relationship that gave me the idea.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practice
Elderly Companionship
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I offer a comfortable stay with food from around the world, largely vegetarian. Perhaps we could learn some dishes from each other? You might want to join me for yoga 2 times per week and some mindfulness exercises. We will be talking in English and perhaps French about our lives and dreams and perhaps to look at what ways we can make ourselves and the world a little better. I can take you to some of the beautiful / historic places locally.
Help
General garden tidying, weeding preparing the vegetable plot area for planting. Help moving furniture and doing general small DIY around the house like putting up shelves, putting together kitchen units, perhaps some decorating and general housework.
Languages
Languages spoken
French: FluentThis host offers a language exchange
English (British version) is my first language and I would be happy to help others with their English. I also speak French fluently but need to improve and would appreciate practise. German is one that I'd like to learn too.
Accommodation
The areas of the house that are habitable are large, furnished and comfortable, the available furnished bedrooms will be a room with 2 single beds and another with 1 double. At the moment there is only 1 bathroom for us to share (mum has her own bathroom). By the time people come there might be another bathroom already? I would provide breakfast, lunch and a light supper though would be very happy to buy ingredients chosen by those coming to stay, especially if they'd like to join in the cooking. Because mum lives here I like to keep the atmosphere like a functioning family.
What else ...
I can offer 2 bicycles for cycling to the local town or other sights. There is a little castle in the village Its grounds are open but the castle isn't.
