Our week at Annie’s was simply wonderful! She is a great host, very thoughtful and gracious. We mostly worked on fixing up some doors in her house, moving firewood and a few other odd jobs. Annie very kindly picked us up at the train station in Tomar. What a beautiful small town with the Knights of the Templar castle, a lovely historic city centre … read more

We spent a great week with Diana, Standa and their two children. Our chores included planting onions and Lemon Balm seedlings, and we were glad to help start a new lean-to on the back of their house! We enjoyed our many conversations and learned so much about herbs from Diana. Their small town is a quiet place, but we enjoyed our evening walks. … read more
