Descripción
Hi. My husband and I are English, living in beautiful West Cork. We are active retirees and spend two months travelling most years. We'd like help in our garden and assistance with a few small DIY jobs around the house involving painting, carpentry and if possible plastering before we set off for our travels in November. Two weeks in October would be the perfect time to help us out... and maybe again in March on our return!

We live in Southern Ireland 2km from a very lively town famous for musical festivals and a great music scene. Our home is a 10 minutes drive to the sea and there are plenty of lovely walks close by.We would be happy to improve helpers English language skills but would prefer someone with basic English. My husband is a keen birdwatcher. We are both interested in natural history, travel and outdoor activities.

My husband and I are looking for a single person (non smoker) to help with general gardening chores and DIY projects for two weeks in October. Carpentry, small amount of plastering and painting skills would be a definite advantage.

There are regular bus services to towns nearby but we will help with transport if needed. We spend time walking, swimming, cycling and gardening.We have done a lot of travelling to as faraway as the Antarctic (kayaking) for my 60 birthday and travel for two months of the year and have recently spent a month in Japan walking the buddhist trails. We plan to go back soon.We often have friends to stay with us and we enjoy entertaining at home. There is a cinema and sports club with a swimming pool in the town.
