I loved my time there so much, I don't even know where to start.
It was a joy to start every day feeding the cows, crushing peas and having Jess and Willow running around chasing one another.

I spent two wonderful weeks at Helen’s place and I enjoyed it from the beginning on. I just felt like becoming part of her life so fast! Helen is a generous and lovely person and the house a unique place.
During my stay, I helped around the house, in the garden, with the cows - everyday is different, but there’s always something to do :)

I stayed with Helen for two months and it felt more like a second home than a Workaway. Once you're there you are part of the family. The work is really fair and enjoyable. Marc is always down for a talk. And if you need something done you can always expect help.
I will miss the time I spent with Helen and I will surely come back❤️
