  Descripción

  I live in a small historical village in an ecological wooden house. I welcome help in my chaotic but beautiful garden and some help with DIY, nothing too difficult. I also appreciate help with our village community project of planting bushes, flowers and generally improving our environment.
  I am English but have lived in France many years. I was a Montessori teacher but since retiring I am now an artist with a range of styles and I also paint traditional icons.
  I have animals, 2 dogs, 6 cats and 4 chickens.
  I am vegetarian but my meals include dairy, eggs (from my hens) and fish.
  My village is in rural France so there is no public transport but I always try and show my helpers the area.
  Bergerac airport is 20kms away. Rail connections available at Bergerac or Marmande. I can pick you up if needed.
  I have been accepting helpers through another website for 10 years and have had some wonderful times.

  This is a rural area so there is very little public transport but I always try to help you visit places. If you like walking and cycling the roads are quiet and there are footpaths. I walk every day with my dogs and you are welcome to join me.
