Help
I generally need help around the house, sometimes cleaning and tidying on a daily basis and maybe some spring cleaning here and there, do the daily chores. Help with gardening, such as weeding and digging, , tidying stuff up from in the yard and the garden and lifting things as I have a back issue, and etc but we are open to people´s abilities such as general maintenance such as repairs, maybe painting walls , anyone able to help with technology is always helpful from time to time as well as sharing cooking duties I need help with carrying and lifting things.. I recently had an operation and am not allowed to lift things. Also looking after the raised beds with vegetables would be handy. They re only little. Garden needs work, There are always plenty of things to be done.

We will come to arrangement how the kitchen facilities will be shared. I do not like food fried in the house especially not meat. There is a internet connection, I have starlink. Prefer if not used gor downloading films though.

We are in a natural reserve with high fire risk, smoking is only permitted in one designated area due to forest fires. Making bonfires is strictly forbidden.
We enjoy the quite life and nature and the tranquility.
It is an ideal place for those people who like to disconnect.
We are respectful of people s space and as this is our home that it is reciprocated. Although water is limited and gets brought in by lorry, we like you to have daily showers and they.must be short and we are happy to share the washing machine with mutual conferring not to waste water or energy. We will also have to discuss and teach you how to live with solar energy as there are certain guidelines.
