Description
I have had wwoofers, helpers, and people living here for many years, l enjoy the interchange of cultures and fresh ideas. There are a lot of books in my house and good friendly neighbors not far away.
I'm looking for help with building using natural materials, growing organically, tree planting (including gathering tree seeds in Autumn), and cutting brambles.
Phone reception depends on your network, longer term people usually change their SIM. There is no WiFi in the house but there is access to WiFi in town when we go there about twice a week.
