Description
Four years ago my husband and I bought a terrace of 3 dilapidated properties, originally constructed in 1600s, in Normandy, less than an hour to beaches, the Normandy Landings, beautiful countryside and quaint little towns. A lovely place to live.
During that time we have carried out lots of improvements , but now we would really appreciate some help with finishing the projects and creating an easy to maintain garden area with a pond.
So, if there is anyone, single or couple who have light DIY, creative woodwork, building or gardening experience we’d love to hear from you.
You are assured of a warm welcome and self contained accommodation. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, no kids at home.
Thanks for reading, any questions, please ask. -
