Description
I will looking for help towards the end of May to assist with indoor renovation and some land management tasks, including work in the vegetable gardens.
There are several projects using traditional natural building methods with old recycled mud and straw bricks ( known in Bulgaria as karpitch ) . In some communities it's called cob building. Working with clay plaster is great fun. We start by melting down old broken mud bricks with water and adding fresh straw as a binder.
My name is Carol and I am originally from Scotland. In 2006 I came to Cherven for a short holiday and left 6 days later having put a deposit down to buy an old abandoned property on the outskirts of the village. Cherven is situated in the Rusenski Lom Natural Park and is 40 kilometers south west of Ruse. Within 2 years I had given up my old life of working 9-5 and reinvented myself as a "quasi peasant" . I grow a lot of vegetables ( organically ), keep chickens , have a dog and cats.
I enjoy having working guests come to stay and to share this beautiful spot with magnificent views.
There is always plenty to do including for example, clearing land, weeding, planting, harvesting, preserving food, making compost, basic building, repairing and remodelling.
There are always lots of ongoing projects which are often weather dependent and whether you have the skills or not to help take them forward.
There are guest bedrooms in the upstairs part of my house, which is now a 100 years old and was built with mud and straw bricks. This part of the property has its own access, a kitchen and toilet/ showering facilities. Good wholesome food is provided. There is excellent wifi access.
I am particularly interested in people who enjoy land work and gardening and/or who have basic building trade skills but have generally found that everyone has something to contribute.
I am flexible in terms of tasks and time input and we can agree what would work for both of us.

Autres infos...
Cherven is situated in the Russenski Lom Natural Park and is well known in Bulgaria for its medieval ruins, caves and rock churches. There are lovely walks in and around the village. There is a post office, a library and a small general convenience store/ bar. There is also an outside cafe/bar by the river at the foot of the medieval attraction which is not generally open in the winter months, but a great place to hang out the rest of the year.
The nearest ATM accessible by public transport is in Ruse: our nearest city ( 40 kms to the north east ). Ruse is also the only place you can get public transport to Cherven. There are two buses on weekdays to and from Ruse and one on a Saturday and Sunday. Ruse, situated next to the Danube river and the border with Romania, has a very large and beautiful central square area which is known as "Little Vienna", because of its layout and architecture. A great place to hang out on days off people watching from the numerous pavement cafes.
It is also possible to take a trip to Bucharest from Ruse on the Bosphor Express ( a slow train which runs daily between Bucharest and Istanbul ). Bucharest is 60kms from Ruse and there are also direct buses from the airport or the centre to Ruse which can be booked online.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Judith Andrea)
Andrea was a great volunteer with a fantastic attitude. She was an amazing help at the start of a project to clear out an old barn to house our expanding goat herd for the coming winter. It was repetitive work that we did together for days on end raking out old straw and cornstalks then digging out years of rotted manure and moving it to be used… read more

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Sebastian)
Sebastian was a great person to join our life here. He asked to come initially for only a few days as he was on a cycling tour and wanted to visit some places in this area, but ended up staying with us for 6 weeks. He is the sort of guy who seems to be able to turn his hand to all sorts of tasks and nothing seems too much bother for him. He… read more

I had the pleasure to stay with Carol at her lovely house she has built with the help of others through many years, the place is cozy, charming and u feel at home and at ease. The area is also quite charming, although a bit isolated from everything, if u are up to escape cities and be in nature, this is the place for u.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Stephen)
Stephen’s arrival was so timely as he came to my place just after I returned to Bulgaria following an extended trip away and my land and garden were seriously overgrown. He was such a great help and has a wide range of skills at his disposal. He noticed the little things that needed attention as well as being happy to take on the bigger projects.… read more

I had a fantastic time at Carol’s house with her and Schnapska. This is truly an idyllic spot set in the hills above Cherven, where all you can hear is the sound of birds in the morning and the baying of the jackals at sunset...I kid you not.. Whilst there I helped her tame the large garden and installed a stud wall in one of the rooms. We worked… read more

I spent two pleasant weeks with Carol in her beautiful house, I will keep a very good memory. She is really interesting and her place is very peaceful, if you want to spend some time in the nature, that's a perfect place ! The accomodations were very very good and the food so healthy.
Thank you again :)
