  • Description

    Description

    We live in the South west of France, Charente. We are a big extended family, busy and full of life and energy.
    We have a large house with land, and everything has become a bit overwhelming and we need help to keep on top of it all and to create new projects inside and out.
    We have many fun filled evenings with family and friends.
    Friday nights are home made pizzas cooked in our wood fired oven.
    Located near the beautiful town in confolens.
    We all love to create beautiful homemade feasts and would love for you to come and join in the fun (and work with us 😂)

    Help

    We have an extensive organic vegetable garden which needs some love and attention like preparing the beds, seed sowing, weeding, etc.

    Whilst the house is shabby and well loved it could definitely do with some extra love.

    We would like to create a outside kitchen and also a workshop.
    More projects are on the horizon, and with help we may to able to achieve them.
