Description
Hi Im Diane. I'm currently renovating an off grid grange in the french pyrenees. Its 20 min to lourdes, 1hr walk to the top of the world (well my little world). Its a 15 min drive to main village with all facilities. Ideal for nature lovers, walkers, cyclists.
We are looking for some help only with the garden getting spring ready. Clearing wood, preparing veggie patch. We want to create a greenhouse, a goat shed when we get the basics done. Working on renovations on the barn has taken most of our time leaving the garden behind. And I love the garden, nestled in the forest it's my little happy place. Spring goals are also to get chickens and bees. The dream would be to become relatively self sufficient.
I've a nice camper fully equipped for you to stay in. Welcome to join us for meals or just hang out.
So we are a bit of a multicultural family. I'm scottish, husbands Irish. 4 kids one born in new Zealand. They all speak French and left me far behind. This year is the year i need to focus more on language. The kids are also learning Spanish. We have did lots of travelling, I aspire to visit a new country every year. Happened by accident really so now I'm 40 having travelled 40 countries 🤣. So we enjoy meeting different people and hearing of adventures.
Looking forward to hearing from you✌️
