Description

Hello! I live in a village outside Manchester where I work as a mountain leader in a school organising outdoor adventures for the students. It's the perfect job for me as I love spending time outdoors and in nature - whenever I can I go walking in the mountains, and have done a few long distance hikes (in the Alps, Scotland, the Canary Islands). I run regularly and do all sorts of other outdoor activities when the opportunity arises - cycling, canoeing, paddle boarding, lake swimming.
I also love tending my garden, which is full of flowers and birds, doing crafts, yoga and cooking.
I like to be useful - so I'd like to help you with your gardening, cooking, DIY and helping around the home - tasks where I can make a difference and bring beauty to the surroundings.
I am married, with children at university.
I'm drawn to places away from it all, but with good access to local walks - I won't have my own transport, so I need local transport or a bike to use. I like to explore new natural areas.
I'm a quiet person who enjoys time to myself, but also some time for interesting conversation and learning from others.

More details about your skills

I grow flowers and a few vegetables in my garden. Last year I built a big pond and replanted all the flower beds.
I am a good home cook taking inspiration from Mediterranean and African flavours and the fresh produce that's available - I cook both meat and vegetarian recipes.
I have decorated my house, upcycled furniture and do many repairs around the home.
I work with children and have grown up sons - I'm happy to help out with childcare and their school work.
