Hi
Workaways helped my get my house renovation project off the ground and thanks, largely to their help, I've been busy enjoying life in peaceful Lherm for the last few years. But having been lucky enough to meet so many fantastic, enthusiastic workaways in the past, I am now looking for TWO people; travellers or couples (friends, partners, relations....) to help with a wide variety of inside and outside jobs during the Spring.
There is so much to do looking after the animals, helping in the garden and with light maintenance (painting, decorating) and all the other unpredictable jobs that pop up ... you would need to be independent and full of initiative.
Your skills and enthusiasm will be put to good use doing whatever it is you enjoy; painting and decorating, animal care, cooking, gardening, cleaning the play area, general upkeep. In return I offer a warm twin/double bedroom with a shower room/toilet (just for volunteers) in my home, high speed internet access, delicious meals and lively conversation. See feedback for unbiased views!
I am English and speak English at home (where you will live).
Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje
Práctica de idiomas
Jardinería
Construcción y bricolaje
Cuidado de animales
Ayuda en una granja
Cocinar para toda la familia
Ayuda doméstica
Mantenimiento general
Ayuda informática
Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
It's important to me that Workaways benefit too from their stay and leave having had a great time and hopefully having gained confidence, increased their interpersonal skills and cultural awareness. .
You will gain English and French language experience (I am a teacher and translator).
I hope you will dive in and increase your knowledge of traditional French food and wine.
I am happy to give you as much responsibility as you can handle. You will enjoy the satisfaction of coming up with a project, planning it and seeing it through to a conclusion.
You will learn how to care for a variety of animals and understand the benefits and joy interacting with animals can give.
Hopefully you will benefit from my extremely positive outlook on life and gain inspiration for future projects and travel plans!
I am happy to provide professional references for workaways for future placements or job opportunities if required.
Ayuda
I am looking for enthusiastic and conscientious couples or two friends, who enjoy variety to help in the garden, with cooking, outside work, maintenance and animal care. You need to like animals (and it is probably helpful NOT to suffer from animal allergies!) because we have a dog, cats, chickens and (hopefully pregnant) pygmy goats. Finding things to do is never a problem!
Idiomas hablados
Inglés: Fluido

Alojamiento
Accommodation is a comfortable twin room, (shared with another - same sex - volunteer depending on how many helpers we have at a given time) in our home, with a private shower, WC and wash basin. The medieval village of Lherm has a lively bar cum cafe, with a tiny shop, and is lovely short walk (2 km) away.
Algo más...
I am a sociable, fun, hard-working and caring person who loves travelling and experiencing different cultures and enjoys welcoming similar-minded people to my home.
I was previously with Workaway for 8 years and have taken a break since 2019. So I am really excited to be able to welcome new volunteers this year. My past experiences with Workaway have been amazing; I have been so lucky to meet and exchange so much with Americans, New Zealanders, Australians, Asians, Europeans ... so many fantastic, different people.
There is a lot to do in the local area, various local markets and festivals, prehistoric caves, medieval castles, boating on the Lot river, great concerts, not to mention walking, biking and enjoying the local countryside.....
Public transport is infrequent - but I am happy to drop you at the local bus stop which will get you to a Cahors, with trains and further transport options.

Feeling very guilty not to have got round to leaving feedback for Hannah and Craig earlier - it has nothing to do with the standard of their (excellent) assistance here - more to do with lack of time and total exhaustion on my part at the end of the season!!

Where do we start with Fiona?
Our experience was absolutely perfect! We had such an amazing time in the family household, it is a relaxed and comfortable home where you are able to be completely yourself without any obligation to act in a certain way. Fiona is a very laid back, kind and caring woman with a wicked sense of humour, and it is… read more

Work was very suitable for us and there were never too much to do. We were very delighted to have opportunity to meet Fionas friends in relaxed dinners and other occations. Fiona was always happy… read more

Mia and Sari have been amazing. They arrived as we were beginning (still not finished) to get organised following a stressful run up to our gite opening! They are a friendly, confident, enthusiastic couple of friends who are a joy to be with. They fitted into our family perfectly and were relaxed with both clients and friends. We had no real… read more

What to say about fantastic Fiona, James and Tilly? We spent 3 weeks here and most of that was spent laughing, no matter what task we were doing. We had an amazing time learning how to make new dishes, barbecuing, experiencing all the joys of animal care (including duck catching!), sorting out and organising areas of the house, helping with… read more

We are very sad to say goodbye to Andrew and Sabrina who have just left following an extremely productive time with our family! They are a fun, thoughtful, intelligent, enthusiastic couple with heaps of initiative and experience. They undertook anything asked with enthusiasm and never gave anything but their best in all they did. The tasks were… read more

I have a family sized hole! Fiona, James, and Tills are the most wonderful family I have ever met. They are all incredibly lovely, and very funny people who kept me well entertained during my 3 weeks here. Working with Fiona was an absolute pleasure, I really enjoyed all tasks thrown at me, catering Mondays, catering Tuesdays, trips to Ikea,… read more

She helped out everywhere, catering, serving, looking after children, brilliant sewing, drumming, delicious cooking (memorable home made bread and delicious pasta). She is an extremely thoughtful and… read more

What to say about these two amazing sisters!!?? We had such a good time together in what was honestly a very tricky, stressful period as we came to the end of our building project. They remained helpful, smiley, calm, enthusiastic and positive whatever was thrown at them!! Monica in the kitchen was a dream - she took over catering and provided… read more

As my first workaway experience I could not have asked for a better host! Fiona and her children Tilly and James were so friendly and welcoming. The house and the countryside surrounding it is beautiful, and a very welcome break from city life :) I loved feeding the animals (especially the baby goats, so cute!) I only wish I had stayed longer than… read more

My first workaway experience couldn't be better, Fiona is a great person who gave me the freedom and all kind of facilities. I only can thank you Fiona for all you did for me and also all the good moments I had with all of you (Tilly, the singer & James, the ping-pong player).
See you soon!
Una abraçada!

Our stay with Fiona and her wonderful family was unimaginably good! We were treated like family members from the start, and everyone (including the animals) was fantastically nice. Fiona went out of her way to show us both the surrounding area, and French culture, and we got to see some amazing sights and meet some very interesting people. This… read more

Steve and Mitch stayed with us in France for 5 weeks. I can't believe the amount they helped us achieve! They both worked extremely hard with Greg our builder, doing everything from digging holes, mixing cement, jointing walls, cutting down trees, generally sorting, trips to the dump and of course entertaining Chili the 2-month old Lab… read more

The family has been an absolute pleasure to work for and live with. This has been Christina and my first workaway and without a doubt Fiona has really set the bar high. The hospitality that she has set for us made us feel just like home. Even if we were in France and not fluent in it, Fiona and the kids helped us get by in any circumstance. We… read more
