    Varied work depending on our work schedules and your comfort zone!
    - Gardening work: mowing lawn, weeding, thinning flax bushes.
    - Household cleaning and cooking.
    - General maintenance: currently need some door frame and skirting repairs, tiling and paint touch ups.
    - IT / design: potential for sorting old photos into albums and ratifying our IT set up.

    Ideally expect half a days work per day of accommodation: this could be done as a one day of work for one day off so you get a full day to head off hiking or adventuring somewhere.
