Description
My name is Justine and I live with my partner Tim and our three year old daughter Lily in a small surfing town in Victoria. We spend most of our time (outside of work) in the garden or surfing at our local beach two minutes drive from our house. I love where I live, we are walking distance to the beach, many cafes, the library and the centre of town. Anywhere you want to go is only a five minute bike ride away!
We are a vegan household and love harvesting from our garden for most meals. At the moment in winter we don't have much diversity but we do have a lot of kale, broccoli, collard greens, rainbow chard or silverbeet, coriander, parsley and beetroots. We eat from our garden but also buy a lot from the supermarket to make sure we are eating a rounded diet. Tim is an excellent vegan sweet maker - he makes an incredible tiramisu! In winter our garden looks quite sad as not much grows, but in summer you can see in the photos, it is lush and abundant.
We are looking for people to help with the maintenance of the house. We have a balcony that needs to be sanded and painted and occasional child care
