We stayed with Nicola, Damien, and their family for a month, and we can say that the time we spent with them was wonderful. Nicola and Damien are great people, with excellent character, attentive, and very flexible. Not to mention Nicola's parents, who are fantastic, kind-hearted people who even gave us a ride to the city when we needed it.
In the
… read more second week, we were also invited to participate in the pizza night at Zoe's birthday party, and that was really cool because it made us feel like part of the family, but I confess that we were a little embarrassed at first, hehehe.
Nicola was always very concerned, especially about our comfort, and always asked if we were missing anything in the house (which, by the way, is an excellent and very comfortable place to stay), and we noticed how attentive she was in the smallest details, because in a day-to-day conversation, when we mentioned that we liked pasta, she included that item on the shopping list.
Damien has a very busy life, but he always supported us and taught us how to do activities we didn't know how to do, always with a lot of patience, even though Luiz had a little more difficulty with English. Luiz and he maintained a direct line of communication on WhatsApp, which made this process easier.
As for work, we did a little bit of everything, such as: sweeping leaves because the property is very large and requires this constant maintenance, washing fences, cutting fallen trees, helping with gardening, cleaning the house on some days, and even helping a few days with the work to alter the heating system that Damien is working on. On these days, the work was a little more physical, but Luiz loved it because he operated a mini excavator and a demolition hammer.
With the exception of this last job, the rest was super easy to do, and we agreed with Nicola to complete the requested 25 hours in 4 days.
The house is a bit far from the village of Adare, and we needed a ride to get to town a few times. If the bicycles had had inflated tires, we could have used them a few times, but that wasn't a problem.
In the end, we can only thank the Varley family for the experience. We have a great affection for you and we say this from the heart.Chat with Workawayers who've visited this host
