Dan and I stayed with Alison on Gabriola Island for four weeks. She is generous, engaging and there was never a dull moment during our time spent with her. She has a lot of interesting stories to tell and made us feel at home from day one.

Graham and Anna have a great sense of humour and are fun to be around.

To say that Graham and Noelle offer a welcoming and unusual setting for workaways would be an understatement. Before we even reached the front door, our reaction was absolute amazement: it could have been the 400-meter private driveway that winds past four ponds, complete with swans and plenty of other wildlife, or it could have been the mature… read more

What a marvellous nine weeks we have enjoyed with Jacqueline (Jay) and Daniel (Dan) !
They came to us in early October as workaway helpers and guests; they left us early December as delightful and trusted friends. Today they fly back to London.
Now we must await their return and in the meantime reflect on the lovely memories of Dan's capable and… read more
