Description
We are retired pensioners (1948 & 1952) and have 1 cat and a Jack Russell dog. It is not strictly a workaway as we are not a smallholding, a camping setup or have farm animals etc. and because we would not normally be with you, but still an opportunity to simply look after a 1/2 acre garden, 1 cat, 1 dog, a large home and have a lot of free time. The village is 8 kms from nearest town and shops.

Living in rural France, relatively close to the Spanish border and the mountains. Summer and winter are both opportunities to enjoy the area.

Help
We have a fairly large house and garden, plus 1 cat, 1 dog, and need some general help to care for it all, plus when we are away, which we normally plan. We have a small separate flat so you can either stay in a bedrooms in the main house or stay separately in the flat.
