Descripción
Hello!
We are Harriet and Bill. We are a couple currently living in London, UK on our little canal boat.
Harriet:
I am an artist, maker and horticulturist. I count myself as a practical and hands on person with skills in sewing, basic woodwork, painting and diy. I work in a wood workshop when I'm in London helping disadvantaged adults with craft projects.
Before this, I was an organic farmer/gardener. I worked on a 30 acre organic plot growing vegetables, flowers fruits and herbs. I am looking to expand my knowledge of regenerative farming.
I grew up in the countryside on a working farm near Wales. We kept, cows, sheep, horses and chickens. I am at home in the outdoors and am looking to escape city life for a while to do some physical labour and to reconnect with the land.
I love cooking fresh, seasonal food, and I love baking too! I am looking forward to learning new things in the kitchen and trying new foods.
Bill:
I have a background in Physics and Engineering and work as software engineer in the UK. I am tech savvy and am fascinated by electronics and mechanics, which comes in handy when fixing up our narrowboat! I'm also interested in how technology can be used to help with growing food on a small scale.
In my free time I enjoy hiking, cycling, foraging, and learning about fungi. I love listening to and making music and I play in a brass band back in the UK. I have been fortunate to have met so many brilliant people and had many wonderful experiences travelling and working on farms in New Zealand, Vietnam and Nepal.
Together Harriet and I run a yearly not for profit community event called The Banquet which brings together fresh seasonal food with music and performance in an beautiful outdoor setting. It's the highlight of our calendar and 2025 will be our 8th year!
We love exploring the rivers and canals in our houseboat. We love camping, hiking, cycling, dancing, travelling and learning together. We have open hearts and will get stuck into any task.
We look forward to meeting you!

Que habilidades tienes?
Harriet:
I have a university degree as an artist/designer/maker. I can sew, do basic woodwork, I have experience with ceramics, metal work, computer design. I am good at DIY, I love using power tools and am generally a handy person to have around.
I grew up on a working farm so I am at ease with all animals big and small. I am used to physical graft and am from the UK so am not afraid of bad weather!
I love gardening, horticulture and agriculture and am looking to expand my knowledge in these areas.
I can cook and am looking forward to using the beautiful locally grown produce India has to offer.
Bill:
I have worked at homestays and farms many times (mostly with HelpX) and always had a brilliant experience. I am practical and hard-working and particularly good at fixing things!
I am also an experienced teacher of sciences to children and teenagers.

Winter and freezing but both of them were as enthusiast as ever for any farm activities. They saved seeds, planted flowers and mulched the fruit trees. The farm will soon bloom with their flowers :)
Things we most enjoyed about the stay:
- We felt genuinely useful. Sanjay expects 5 hours work per day roughly 9am-1pm and 2pm-3pm. The work was never boring and enjoyable such as watering,… read more
