Kane did simple outside work such as weeding and strimming (his choice as he felt he wanted a change from decorating and building ). He worked well for exactly 5 hours a day and cleaned his caravan before he left. He could be quite thought provoking conversationally but generally had little connection with me and the other volunteers so the only… read more

I had a lovely break in Insch. Not too far from Aberdeen, also a great city. Rosie and her friends were very welcoming. It was lots of fun working on the farm planting pumpkins and I learnt a lot new things. Hope your future projects go great also.

Pembroke is a great part of Wales with beautiful beaches in a lovely part of the county side and the mini mansion is great. There lots of life in this place, fun and entertainment. Yet the place is big enough to find a quiet space if you need it or to relax in the garden. Richard was hosting for David during my stay, he is a very reliable host,… read more

Kane was part of a small group of volunteers here in 2019. I was fortunate to have him here when I was decorating and was highly delighted when he told me he had been a decorator by trade. His attention to detail was wonderful. He also tackled other diy jobs and picked up new skills quickly. An interesting person with a spiritual world view making… read more

Kane spent 2-3 months with me doing lots of different jobs in the house and garden. He's a qualified painter & decorator, so his paintwork was excellent, but so were his other skills, such as bricklaying. We had interesting chats about spiritual topics, and I enjoyed his cooking (hope you enjoyed mine too, Kane!)

He was easy to get on with and we… read more

Fiona's ashram style farm is excellent. weather you wanting to get away from the city, practice yoga, learn about nature or Ayurvedic food its a great choice. As a student of ancient religions and a vegetarian its just what I was looking for. Would definitely go again.

Best wishes Kane

Kane volunteered in the summer of 2018 when there was a drought. He helped water 600 new trees and brought in 500 bales of hay along with another volunteer and I. He worked hard and willingly. It was a pleasure to have Kane with us and did well. There were a couple of times of misunderstanding with another volunteer due to a particular sensitivity… read more
