  Thank you for your understanding.
  
  Hi,
  
  Hi, I am Hindu-Mauritian and unfortunately just widowed from my English life partner.
  Living in a small remote village in the countryside, I am looking for a very nice and polite person, very friendly and happy people ..... to help with 1. home so I need to move from this house the latest end of February 2021. I need help please .
  Sorting and packing in boxes to be able to move, sell or give away. I have got a house to empty.
  handy work, tidying barns and garages, the upkeep of the house also. Filing and storage,, and a lot of little bits and pièces to do...according to day by day as it goes .
  Day to day chores. I appreciate people who can handle a job on their own. Would like people in their 30's, 40’s and early 50’s with no particular health issues.
  
  I am looking for people with different skills such as DIY , filing and storage, to house and sorting bits and pieces, computer, scannning pictures and sorting them etc... it is a very long list...
  Cleaning and sorting big tall cupboards which are very dirty in a house that has been inhabited for one full year. One should not be frightened by a messy and dirty house to be emptied!!!
  
  For the moment and due to my situation and issues, I expect a honest 20 hours work per week PER PERSON AS WELL AS some normal household chores (HELPING IN THE PREPARATION OF MEALS & similar; washing up , laying/clearing table, CLEAN THE HUB and kitchen after cooking). I’d prefer non-smokers and do not tolerate cheating, stealing or lying of any kind...
  I speak English and French at home.
  It is very vey important for me to know if you some special dietaries needs or allergies to whatever food, please let me know, because i cannot cater for special dietary requirements!!!
  You should be able to eat veg and the same things as me i.e a lot of vegetable.
  I don’t cook with whatever wine, cream or butter. I cook very few chicken or meat and if chicken it will be cooked without the skin.
  If you cannot handle my cuisine, it will be difficult for you.
  We drink tap water which is very good in this region. I try as long as I can to eat healthy.
  
  I am bilingual. You can therefore practice languages!!!
  I would love to learn and speak Hindi.
  
  Living in a remote countryside, you should know that public transport is very rare,
  Buses are available on certain time of the day from my village to Bordeaux, Mirambeau, Jonzac, St Andre de Cubzac, Blaye and some other places. .
  
  I live together with my helpers like an extended family and expect trust and respect.
  I eat together and do not expect you to leave the table while others haven't finished eating and would like you to share the family life, i.e having a chat after dinner or watch a film or a programme together, play games, music from time to time.
  
  It's a very nice a area : village markets, Blaye Citadel, medieval village of Bourg sur Gironde, St André de Cubzac : Jacques Cousteau's grave and memorial, (where he was born), vineyards and wine tasting etc etc...
  
  Between Bordeaux (60 kms south) and Royan (60 kms north), Arcachon, Dune de Pyla (1:30), la Rochelle (1:30), Poitiers (Futuroscope is 2 hours drive) or by train if you don't have a vehicle.
  
  Sheila : health problem, (fibromyalgia, occipital neuralgia and algodystrophy of the right foot following a very bad surgery)
  
  La Haute Gironde est une très belle région, les marchés de village, la citadelle de Blaye, le village médiéval de Bourg sur Gironde, St André de Cubzac: la tombe et le mémorial du Commandant Jacques Cousteau, (où il est né), vignobles et dégustation de vin, etc etc ..
  
  Bordeaux (60 km au sud) et Royan (60 km au nord), Arcachon, la Dune de Pyla (1h30), la Rochelle (1h30), Poitiers (Futuroscope est à environ 2 heures de route)
  
  
  Il est conseillé d'avoir un mode de transport afin de visiter car la région en vaut le coup!!!
