Bonjour tout le monde, / Hello everybody,
It's just me, British female with 3 friendly cats - I have chosen to live in the Creuse in a busy farming commune. I love it and currently go to college to improve my french. Previously, I have been a landlady of 20 years in the UK before coming to France, brilliant as I came in contact with so many different nationalities and I learned from them all, still keeping in touch with some. I prefer to be out swimming in the lakes or socialising with new friends rather than fixing a leaking toilet, I am looking for help as I am NOT a DiY expert. There is a lot to do in my lovely big 4 bedroom cute country house...and Rome, WAS built in a day... lol...
I like to be involved, and volunteer at my local animal rescue centre, so there is never a dull moment in my life.

They will definitely be speaking english in the house, but they are surrounded by french people in my village.
The area where I live, is very good for looking at the sky at night as is clear and fantastic & you can see the milky-wey
I would appreciate someone who has building skills ie: plumbing install bathroom, tiling, painting, wallpapering
I would appreciate someone who knows about gardening and can motivate me towards loving it and the upkeep.
I would appreciate someone teaching me more skills, and how to be savvy on the internet - as I plan to get a website
I sometimes go back to the UK working for a month at a time, my cats will need looking after - On this I would PAY

You have your own double, shower ensuite bedroom with towels, everything you need after a hard days work.
You will share my food and I am a meat eater although I am always trying and tasting new meal ideas so, I can be quite flexible
There is a local bus but, having a car is better to get around. I have a car and I am also out-and-about most days, local villages with shops, local attractions nearby, Many lakes for fishing, Limoges is an hour away with it's street life vibe. Paris is a 3 hour train journey so do-able in a day - I'll definitely go with you
