If you get the opportunity to be hosted by Len and Julia grab it with both hands. Varied work, plenty to do, variety of ideas. Leisure side you'll never be hungry, great adventures and great circle of friends. I'll definitely be back really felt like home to me.
Thank you both very much.

Most amazing 10 days wish it could of been longer. Vitoria is an incredible lady with such an insight to making this a place of peace and tranquillity. Simon is an unbelievable character and the yoga classes were brilliant. Also my fellow workawayers Louisa was a delight to work with. Also thanks to the kids for the entertainment!! :blush:

It was a pleasure to stay with Mick & Janet even though it was just for a week we achieved so much. Janet's lovely rustic meals and Mick's enthusiasm made the week so enjoyable. Good luck for the future.

Nick was with me for two weeks.
It was a pleasure to have him around. very easy to get on with, calm, eager, willing and able to help out with everything thrown in his direction ( literally, sometimes!).
You'd be lucky to have him!
