We are happy to share our extensive experiences. A chance to speak English, learn golf with Derek or paint with Gilly. She is also happy to share her cooking skills.
Help
In the garden there are number of general tidying jobs such as clearing leaves and decluttering ditches of their brambles. We want to relocate our vegetable plot and have wood that needs chopping . Most of the work is outdoors but there are some odd paint jobs for rainy days. 😊

English: Fluent
Accommodation
Our house has plenty of indoor and outdoor living space and there is a beautiful double or twin bedroom waiting for you and exclusive use of the family bathroom. Meals will be taken with the family unless you wish otherwise.
What else ...
As we live in the country transport is advisable but not a necessity. We have bikes. We live about an hour from the mountains and two hours from the coast. There are many quaint villages and lovely places to see. However, if you want a relaxed stay after work, we have a swimming pool, peaceful garden and shaded veranda.
