Description
HELP NOW NEEDED DUE TO THE RECENT FLOODING

LOTS OF CLEANING UP AND RE FENCING TO DO

I am now living alone in this beautiful part of France, Couiza, that is.
I have lived here since 2004, but my partner has now left and I need help keeping the house and land tidy, while I try to sell and buy something that one person can handle. I am looking for help weeding, pruning and general tidying of land.
Broadband internet with wi-fi, so as you can stay in touch with friends and family. 1.5 hrs from spain, 0.5 hrs from carcassonne airport, 1 hr from toulouse and perpignan airports, local train station and bus service, but I am willing to meet you localy when you arrive. I have bikes that you can use and I offer accomodation in your own bedroom
I speak a little french and english.
I am looking for helpers who can work on their own initiative, if required, but I am very flexible about times and also weather conditions. I would expect between 20 to 30 hours work a week, depending on what is happening, and in return I will supply food and drink, within reason, although I can cook, I might need some help in the kitchen as well.
I am not a vegetarian and I do not smoke.
If this sounds like your sort of place please contact me, I am looking for genuine helpers, all year round.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Damien)

Damien stayed here for about two weeks and cut short his visit due to the impending lockdown of COVID 19, looks like he made the right decision as the lockdown started the day after he left. While he was here he was a great worker and got a lot done which really helped me, I wish it could have been longer, stay safe Damien and enjoy life

We stayed a little over 2 weeks with Russell, and we are very grateful to him for hosting us. When we arrived, almost everything was maintenance free and there was a lot to be done, so the work was not so light. But Russel's property is very beautiful and the village of Couiza is very peaceful. We enjoyed it.

Dominique is a good helper.
