    Description

    Hi. We are a semi-retired couple, looking for help – mainly with outside tasks, in particular, the garden. My husband is somewhat incapacitated because he has a brain disease. He still functions okay – he can still make a great G&T! But his physical walking and verbal skills are declining. I don’t need help with him – I need help mainly with outside gardening tasks and walking the dogs.

    Our two friendly dogs are Amber, our Springer Spaniel, and Reilly, our Labrador-Retriever, who would both be very keen to spend time with you.

    Our home is on two levels. You would have comfortable accommodation in a large bedroom on the lower level. The room has a king-sized bed; table and chairs; armchairs, tea/coffee toast making facilities (as well as a microwave), together with an en suite. It also has its own deck. Free Wi-Fi is available.
