Description
Dave 57 Jen 52 our son Jake 25 this is our family that live in our home. We also have 2 other sons David and Jake's twin Ryan who live in the UK. We have 2 small dogs Snowey and Lexi. I am an English man and Jen is Irish. We work in factory's on shift work and Jake too so we do work nights and have to sleep in the day so will need these times to be quite to enable this.
We live in the countryside of Ireland appox 3 mile from the nearest town in any direction. Our home is a 5 bedroom detached bungalow set on 2 acres of land. We keep this well between the 2 of us and enjoy doing so but now feel
we may benefit from a little help around the place. I have always wanted to learn different languages but don't find the time and the workaway system may help in this. We like to go for walks in the mountains and on the many beaches that are around, which are great for swimming and surfing weather permiting, as we live 3.5 miles from the nearest beach and about 7 to 10 miles from the mountain walks depending on the challenge you what. We also have the Waterford greenway only 800 metres from our gate which we walk on. This is a walk and cycle way connecting Dungarvan to Waterford. We live 14 miles from the large town of Dungarvan and 17 from the major city of Waterford, the oldest city in Ireland. We have a gym with sauna, bikes that will be available. It is a walk to the bus routes but there is usually one of us at home that could help with this where possible.
Jen likes to go walking and cycling and keeping a beautiful home as she is very house proud.
Myself I like all sports especially rugby, l like to get out to do gardening and D.I.Y. I also like cars. I also like to talk. We love Christmas and travel.
We do not smoke.
