Description
I'm living in a converted barn with my dalmation - Jasper with a large garden/field of approx 4000m2.
I love gardening, it's what i do for a living, nature walking [Jasper has a poorly hip atm so can't go too far!]
Growing veg [poly tunnel coming soon!] and other plants and foraging for jams and jellies.
Currently planting wildflower meadows and bulb fields.
Love a glass of red wine [in moderation!] in the evenings!!!
I'm in a small hamlet in the Charente, close to Nanteuil en Vallee and Verteuil sur Charente [both beautiful villages, Verteuil has a lovely Chateau]
I love cooking all types of meals especially curry
I'm looking for a dynamic person to give me hand keeping eveything in control and develop my projects.
Some easy diy tasks also, painting etc.
I can offer a very comfortable double bed, separate shower room, tv and fibre internet [very fast!!]
