Description
Hi there, we live in the beautiful west of Ireland on a smallholding in a small cottage. I'm a movement meditation teacher and physical therapist, one of my passions is music and dance. You would be welcome to join my classes. I've 1 dog. She loves being taken for walks! Whoever helps out here must love animals and want to be part of what is happening in the home but still independent. Although where I live feels remote, I live only a 15 min. walk into town. Im vegetarian and fine if you eat meat.
A lot of help clearing outside is needed, digging beds, weeding, planting trees, clearing rhododendrons. Would really like someone who is reasonably strong and able to help independently, I will help you too when I can.
