Description
We are a welcoming, warm, fun and creative family consisting of myself Amelia, an Educator and Facilitator, my partner Michael who runs his own Mental Health company and my son Zeph who is 7.
We live in a magical house on the edge of a valley next to a big forest. We have a large garden, a hot tub and a big caravan for guests like you. Our house, despite feeling remote, is just a 10 minute drive, bus ride or 30 minute cycle from the bustling and lively market town of Frome.
Frome is a great place with a strong music and arts scene, multiple cafes and a river running through it. We travel into town most days so can offer rides in for our workaway.
So a little more about us, when we are not working or relaxing in nature we love music, dancing and festivals. Michael is a DJ, I paint, draw and love gardening and permaculture.
We are looking for workaways who enjoy nature and creativity and would be happy to help around the place with healthy cooking and childcare.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are part of a network of wonderful creative people both locally and further afield and while you were here, we would include you in our life - taking you to events, festivals etc.
The local town provides lots of great opportunities for visitors.
Also, I have a keen interest in nature, wild food, foraging etc and would happily teach and show you these things.

Help
We would love some help with hanging out with my 7 year old son Zeph, particularly during holidays while we work. Zeph is a lot of fun and loves new people.
On top of these we would love help with cooking healthy meals and helping around the place including the garden.

Accommodation
We have a large caravan for your use with bedroom and living space, a gas heater, lights, electric sockets and a kitchen with an oven, fridge and kettle. You would use the bathroom in the house as well as the sink.
We would share meals together in the house and you would be free to use the kitchen and dining room as you pleased.
Most of the time you would also be free to use the living room too but occasionally we might ask to have our own space in there.
We are a very relaxed family and you would be encouraged to make yourself at home here with us.
What else ...
Frome is half an hours train ride from Bath, an hours train ride from the city of Bristol, and an hour and 40 mins train ride from central London. Locally we have Longleat safari park next door to our house and if you walk into the woods you can see giraffes sometimes and hear lions roar. There are lots of wonderful historical places to visit and incredible places to explore and even swim in nature.
If you like climbing there is a local climbing gym, also the woods next to us is a mountain bike hot spot and I have one you can borrow...
