  Description

  Hi my name is Lynn a South African in France since 31 years
  
  I live in a tiny hamlet close to the queen of Spa towns, Vichy and have been renovating my little house and now a part of the barn as well as trying to establish a permaculture garden.
  
  I am part of the local municipality so rather occupied and a helping an association in the region organising art exhibitions.
  
  I need help all around as this is quite a bit😊
