Description
Hello,
I am retired and have 3 grown up children.
I will be spending the month of October 2023 on my own in our second residence house sitting on the edge of the golfe du Morbihan (near Vannes in Brittany).
I will be doing various things such as preparing the house, garden and boats for the winter, but also long walks along the water, but also sailing along the islands if the weather is favorable.
A hand and companionship would be most welcome.
This is a very nice and comfrotablel place. You would have your own room and bathroom.
Let me know if you wish to come.
Cheers
John.
PS, during the months of July-august, I will not be in Brittany, because I put up the house for rent during that period, but most probably in Poitou, where I have a house in the middle of nature, and where a hand would alos be most welcome. I can give you further details about this place if you are interested.
I might also take my salboat and sail for a while. My plans are not clear yet, and depend if I find the right workawayer which micht stimulate me in making plans.
