    Description

    Hi - My name is Jeremy, I recently moved into this beautiful Irish cottage on the shore of lough Talt in County Sligo, Ireland. The cottage is very comfortable and warm and has magical views over the lake. There is about 12 acres of land with the property which needs a small amount of maintenance as it is mostly wild woodland and old growth. However I have a small garden plot that I want to bring to life this year and plat vegetables and herbs and flowers. I will also be keeping bees there.
    I need help with all of this. I live alone and you would have your own room in the cottage and meals provided.
    Ideally you would have some knowledge and experience as a gardener - as I am just starting out and learning. I speak Spanish, French and English (and a little Irish).
    I am a filmmaker. My project is titled Wisdom Keepers (Instagram.com/wisdom.keepers)
    If you have any questions please message me.
    Thank you kindly,
    Jeremy

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    I live in a very relaxed rural country lifestyle. I love music and ofetn host music nights and visitors whether family or friends. SO there will be a good balance of peace and quiet and social connection. The cottage is in the mountains and a short drive from the nearest town. It would be ideal to have your own car or transport whilst you are staying here.
