Description

Would love help to build a hen house and a cat shelter
Must love cats - I have five that come and go in and out
My cottage is surrounded by nature and it is very quiet,
peaceful and quite magical. I need people who can work independently
and are mature, and trustworthy. Also it is a pescatarian house for humans.
Its a perfect place to work on a creative projects, I have a crafts shed as well
