Left by host (Live the dream in a homely ...) for Workawayer ()

I already know that I cannot do justice to this Lithuanian Wonder Woman.
But at least I’m going to try…

I was greeted by an elegant lady in a beautiful, floaty dress, sporting immaculate, long nails… not usually the accessories of my helpers. So, to my shame, I was sceptical… for the first 5 seconds anyway, until she lifted her heavy suitcase ~… read more full of delicious goodies/gifts ~ as if it was made of air.

Like Ginger Rogers, who did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in heels, Kristina ~ with nails intact ~ absolutely transformed my unruly land in just a few days.

Yet for the duration of her 3 week stay, I barely gave her any instruction or showed her where things are (so this tired host could truly relax).

As such, I was very happy to leave her to it for a long weekend and go to a friend’s birthday in the UK. The cats, the house and the land were in amazing shape when I returned.

When I say that she transformed things, I mean, she wielded a knife about the vast, neglected and daunting jungle and got out absolutely every single weed ~ from the tiniest sprout to those bigger than herself. Weeks later, 95% of them are still nowhere to be seen. That is a rare, rare skill.

Her thorough and “holistic” approach (not a word I’ve used before when describing workawayers) meant that she not only obliterated the weeds, but also pruned, swept, straightened, rebuilt, re-potted and cleaned as she went. Thanks entirely to K, things here have never looked so good and the ‘land’ is now a thriving, beautiful ‘garden’.

Elsewhere, she was also a delight to host. In addition to green-fingered wizardry, Kristina has one of the very best attitudes I’ve ever come across – low maintenance, genuinely helpful around the house, hardworking, not-clock-watching, no-nonsense, able to pre-empt everything that is needed, and able to do everything brilliantly that came her way.

But above all, she’s an utterly wonderful person to spend time with. I dearly remember our evenings and weekend together, like two peas in a pod, quaffing apperitivi by the pool or snuggled on the sofa covered in cats, and chatting about anything and everything, or sitting and reading comfortably in silence together.

We’ve become firm friends and message each other all the time now. I’m just counting down the days until she comes back.

In conclusion, I’m so grateful that our paths crossed. She now firmly, and eternally, has a place in my home and my heart.

I would give her a million stars if I could. A mere five is laughable.

To any host reading this, if Kristina comes your way, you’ve won the lottery.
That said, please let her keep walking towards Italy… I want to keep her all to myself!

(Excellent )
