Thomas is lovely. Daisy the dog loved him and she is a very good judge of character. He worked hard and joined in with the life of the house. We loved having him at stay and hope that now he is living in the area he will be a regular guest. Thank you Thomas.

Nicky and Chris are incredible. I am very grateful for their kindness and how they welcomed me into their lives. The week I spent with them was far beyond what I was expecting or hoping for; it turned out to be such an enriching experience. Highly recommended. Thank you Nicky, Chris... and Daisy!

Thomas is a very kind, considerate person. He is helpful, tidy, and a diligent worker who takes great care in all he does. He is a very gentle, honest soul and we all really enjoyed spending time with him. Good luck Thomas will your conservation/wildlife projects.

Thomas was a lovely volunteer who was with us from 25th January to 22nd February and picked up our farm routine pretty quickly, taking care of the animals daily after 3-4 days. Decked out in wellingtons and waterproofs he mucked in whatever the weather. He was really easy to live with, a quiet guy who always helped tidy up, with a dry sense of
