Descripción
I am Judy and I live for part of the year in the South of the Dordogne area, situated between 3 beautiful old bastide towns. Our nearest town is Bergerac. The property is the remains of a 17th Century hamlet. There are 3 houses, two barns and a swimming pool. The grounds consist of 26 acres – woodland, meadow, vegetable patch, walnut grove and a small lake. We moved here from London 13 years ago and during that time have restored the 3 houses, installed photovoltaic panels and put in eco-friendly sanitation systems including a reedbed.

Objetivos de sostenibilidad de las NU que intenta conseguir este anfitrión
Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
They could learn lots about gardening and land management. Also some building skills. I can speak French with them if desired.
Ayuda
Potential projects for this year include:
•wood clearance and management -the aim being to be self sufficient in firewood but also to gain access to woodland that has not been managed for about 50 years
•plant propagating
•fruit and veg growing, harvesting and preserving
We find it best to work with couples or groups of friends rather than with a workawayer travelling on their own.

Simon is highly skilled and very helpful. He did lots of really useful work for us, fitting out a kitchen in a tepee, making a workbench, finishing of a walk in wardrobe etc. And he even did some washing up which was well above and beyond the call of duty!

We hosted Tomasz and Caroline for 3 weeks in total and they were incredibly hard working and cheerful - full of energy and ideas. They are both very practical people and get on with things. Caroline likes cleaning, cooking and decorating. Tomasz likes to work on building projects and generally working outdoors. A great combination!

Gemma and Chris were a delight to host. They fitted in instantly and were very hard workers. Chris likes working with cement, Gemma loves weeding....what more could you ask! They also have a very good sense of when to use their own initiative and when to ask for advice.
Added to which they were very good company and we had a laugh.
