Description
I live on a 3 acre smallholding in the middle of the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland. I have 3 chickens and 2 dogs. I grow a wide variety of vegetables in raised beds and also in the polytunnel. There is no mobile phone coverage here but I do have excellent internet which allows for WiFi calling on some networks but not SMS text messaging. Although it is very remote here, it does have its bonuses, e.g., dark skies so stargazing is amazing! Lots of wildlife to see as well.
I'm looking for someone to help with the vegetables, walk the dogs and feed the chickens. .

I think my home should be treated more like a retreat from the rat race. I can teach travellers how to care for chickens and also how to grow vegetables, from sowing seeds, transplanting seedlings to harvesting the vegetables and also how to cook.

Hermione is a wonderful lady full of incredible stories and lots of knowledge to share. Not to mention she is a fantastic cook!
I also absolutely loved the dogs, Riya and Twinkle, they made the stay even more special.
