Description

I am a woman, 68 years old and my two children are travellers as you are.
i am renovating an old farm ( house, barn and 2 hectares of forest ) with an ecological focus.
I do my vegetable garden in the permaculture way .
Help could be appreciate indoor or outdoor, building with lime and carpentry on the barn, many things to do in the forest.....
The last 30 years my job was costums designer and even if i am now quite expert with a trowel i do my best with my sawing machine !
I have a big caravane for you to stay in and be independant but not too far from the house.
