Details
Description
This is a croft in the Boreal forest, at the edge of the Canadian Shield, situated on 4 acres.
Abundant wildlife, a quiet lane, beautiful night skies.
Presently, I have a couple of cords of firewood that need stacking into the shed.
If that sounds like your thing, you are passing by and you want some exercise, I could use some help for a few days.
~~~~~~~~~~
I'm a writer and mainly occupy my time with writing or reading. I'm mobility challenged.
If you are looking for a quiet place to curl up with a book and a cup of tea by the fire, you would like it here.
I have a piano and other instruments, and art supplies.

It was a pleasure to have her here.
Valentin was a great help. He tranformed my yard from a bomb site into a park and accomplished a great deal in just a few days. He is considerate, polite, helpful, clean, and industrious.
