Hello, I am called Lorna, a 60 yr old Brit living in a small rural village in the Lower Rhine Valley, Germany. I live 45 mins from Düsseldorf by car and 1 hour away from Cologne and the Dutch border. My son, 23yr old, will also be living in the house, as will others too.
I will provide my workawayer with a comfortable room.
I have a large house and garden and am looking for a handyman- helper for small maintenance repairs, room decorating, painting outside woodwork (windows, doors, gables) and relaying garden path..
I would provide free board and lodging. I would be happy to enable you to visit the local area, you could use a bike, go to the city when I go and I could bring you to the local railway station.
