  Descripción

  Hello, Two Humans (Alex and Daisy, a married couple), Two Cats (Hux 'n' George) and a dog who adores everyone (Fava) are trying to get veg growing again, continuing in a sustainable way to improve on previous attempts
  
  
  There is an expanse of vineyards behind the house and walking in the opposite direction can take you through forest trails to reach the local reservoir/lake (ideal for swimming). (This can also be accessed more rapidly using modern transport techniques)

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Both of us love meeting new people, learning about different cultures, attitudes and customs. Food is one of the ways we share, food can embody culture and the meal is ideal for getting to know one another. Having both lived abroad, we're used to the richness other cultures can offer.
  
  We are artists, craftspeople and working on the growing veg better. Daisy is an established ceramacist and Alex is a musician, teacher, woodworker and general problem solver. All we learn from your stay with us will be embodied in the art we produce.
  
  We can allocate some time for you to learn some ceramics if that interests you.
  We can teach you about the local flora and fauna - for instance a wild form of lavender grows here and smells delicious.
  
  We can lend you a bike to get around and, when convenient, (usually) offer lifts into Tomar which has connections to the rest of Portugal.
  
  There are walks in every direction from the house and cafes and restaurants nearby (there is a Bar/Restaurant 30seconds away) opposite the house and studio is a winery
  
  We hope to share our knowledge and learn novel techniques for veg growing and look forward to working with you.
