Descripción
A mature traveller ex-controls engineer. Now a part-time sculptor
Recently returned from Norway where I was sculpting and helped in the restoration of two historic buildings.
I am currently residing in the South of France.
I'm farm born so practical I know which end to hold a saw and the difference between a nail and screw.
Gregarious but also enjoy my own company.
When not working you’ll find me sculpting with steel, out with my camera or getting lost.
I am seeking longer term stays over the Autum/ winter period preferably outdoor work whether it be horticultural or DIY/building.

(Help around our home and some ...)
Having just spent 8 weeks at Pierre's large home I can only recommend you do too.
Pierre is a fantastic host, hospitable, and lots of fun to be around. From the moment he picked me up at the train station I felt comfortable and welcome.
The work is varied and tailored to your skill set, he welcomes and appreciates your input.

I would like to leave positive feedback hence my delay in leaving some but my conscience will not let me.
So, in consequence of my experience, I can not recommend a stay here.

If you are seeking hosts that are convivial, attentive without being overbearing, appreciative of your efforts and good humoured then you will find a stay with Michelle and Rudy will be hard to beat.
After my stay at le Mas de la Fontaine I can only recommend you do too.

Having spent the spring with Michele I can only recommend a stay with her.
She has a great sense of humour and we spent many hours swapping tales of our travels.
Her beautiful home is rural and quiet with good walks close by.
The work I did while staying with her was varied mainly outdoors in her large garden.
Michele is a good cook so if you… read more

Having just spent two months with Ben and Lorraine I can highly recommend them as workaway hosts. I felt relaxed and at ease in their home from the first day both are great cooks so if you enjoy good food you won't go hungry.

Wow. Where to start . . . What a lovely guy is Chris (Trot).
He stayed with us for a month and really became one of the family. Friendly, warm, considerate, conscientious and knows so much in his field - and beyond, without 'going on' about it.
We enjoyed many conversations over meals on all subjects.
Amongst many, many jobs dealt with was… read more

Christopher (although he prefers to be called 'Trot') is a very good asset to have around if you need lots of stuff done and wish to give either no or minimal instructions: basically he can do joinery, welding, plastering and a bunch of other stuff!!! He is a good cook, an excellent conversationalist and has a great understanding of living in a… read more
