    Description

    Hello,

    A couple of wolves and some sheep living happily in a valley.. We seek positive people who shine or want to! Doers, ppl at home in nature..

    I can offer a sweet little studio cottage, comfortable for 1 or 2 where you have your own space to live and make some of your own food and simply be.
    Here's a quiet place, set in a very peaceful valley so i look for a ppl that are also calm and gentle..

    I make many things, i know a number of trades and living here you naturally learn more by seeing and doing..

    Meditation, calmness, some mornings or days in silence but still in form communication, wake the other senses.

    Non wifi/non-mobilephone land, 'Disconnect to connect'... There's mobile reception 200 meters out the land but while here & in my company on trips out i ask you to have your device turned off... thank you thank you!!

    I favour the slow traveller...

    Happy footsteps,
    Dominic

    P.s. We all make life decisions and i must make one to state that i only receive non vaccinated. This is the way..

    Help

    Helping form more gardens, this coming season a new agroforest will be planted. Many uplifting things to do outside. If you have certain trades also welcome.
    Always expanding the vegetable garden, it follows the principles of permaculture and the use of EM.
    So many different possibilities, if you want to learn a certain technique then maybe one of the projects is at that level or similar.
    Want to build a foundation out of recycled wine bottles? Take care of a young lamb? Learn to tile? ....
