Descripción
We are located on the east coast of Ireland, in County Wicklow which is called "the garden or Ireland". Our house is in a valley (Vale of Avoca), in the middle of a woodland area. The site is 2 acres in total and is constant work in progress: wood to gather, to cut, to tidy, weeding, planting, pruning, seeding, harvesting...
There are lots of ruins around the house which dates from early 1800's. We arrived here 17 years ago. We have completely renovated our house with original material and a cedar extension . We are managing the land organically, it is a mature land with a vegetable garden and flower beds. I am passionate about creating a garden, I am interesetd in permaculture, I am a qualified horticulturist and beekeeper .
We have 3 children, one is living away from home and the 2 others are students (one living at home and one coming home at the weekend). My husband works full time, mostly in Dublin city.
I have been a forager for a local restaurant for many years, and now I am working full time as a Project Coordinator for French trainees in the hospitality industry in Ireland. I am looking for help with house tasks, dog walking, cooking, gardening... depending on the season , the weather and your mood! You get a self contained accomodation with all comfort, ensuite studio with kitchenette.
We usually share meals in the evening and at the weekends, we are happy to organise to bring you with us if we go somewhere nice or drop you at the closest station when possible, we alway find a way to keep things happy and balanced even if some days are very busy.
The best is if you like your own company, if you like nature, cooking and gardening. However there is plenty of chats and laughter when we spend time with our family and workaway!

you will learn about wood (managing wood for wood stoves), permaculture, growing food, medicinal and culinary herbs , taking care of poultry, cooking and preserving fresh food. Ireland is a wonderful country (I can say this especially that I am French!!) and this region is beautiful, with hills and woodlands and the sea. We are not far from Dublin which makes it easy to go for day or week end trips.

We are looking for a single workaway that is happy to fit in our home like one of us, who is able to do tasks independently although also with Clothilde some of the time, who is ok to spend time outdoors if it is raining (a bit), and to do some
cleaning / cooking/ preserving and all sorts of inside tasks depending of what we are doing and the season. Also need to be comfortable with dog and cats.

Meeting of the waters, a cool spot, is nearby + a bus goes from there to other areas of Wicklow.
The work side of things was all grand.
