Description
We are a small family, we live in the Creuse department (Centre France Limousin) We have a small house that still needs a little work mostly maintenance, it is set on a plot of approx 2acres, of garden, woodland and land. At the moment we are trying to finish a project started but half way through finishing, We need help with this, mostly render work and help with a water feature. Then there is the garden, totally enclosed with shrubs, bushes and trees which all need trimming back and paths strimming and mowing. Help is needed on the 3 small polly tunnels we have and help is needed to re cover them for the next growing season. The plot is powered by solar and we try to be as eco friendly as possible, se we are looking for someone who is sympathetic to nature and animals and who is really looking for a peaceful place to grow and learn together with us. We offer all your meals cooked for you and to eat and enjoy our little place of paradise, which we think is quite magical.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a small English family living in France since 2006, we have 2 daughters who speak both English and French. The area is stunning and great for walks, bike rides, wild swimming and lots more. Any help that is offered would benefit from not only the peace and tranquility of this magical setting, eating and socializing with our family and perhaps they could learn a lot from both English and French cultures.

Accommodation
We have a little house fully equipped just 5 minutes walk from our plot, or indeed a small caravan on site, so they can join in and also have their own private space. Clean bedding is supplied and washed for the help from workaway, any helper can have a choice of where they would like to stay. We can even supply a tent if they would like that experience too. I fully respect how the helper would like to spend their time, they will have a facility to cook if they want to, otherwise I will cook and supply all meals.

Here is a link of things to do in the Creuse, there is also a local train station in walking distance from our home.
