Description
Hello! I am a 73 year granny and I live separately from my daughter Nadia and her 2 daughters, 13 and 6, but in the same house. My other daughter Pen runs the organic farm with a paid worker, so there are lots of animals, i.e. sheep, cattle , 2 donkeys and a pony plus cats and dogs!
Pen, her husband and 3 children live 100 metres away on the farm at the end of a longish avenue. Apart from when the cousins are playing it is quiet and peaceful. Before I retired I became a Farming for nature ambassador! I love the trees, birds, hens, gardens and Nadia's home grown organic vegetables and we hope you would too..

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Family 3 generational meals, barbqs, outings to pubs for traditional music, going to the lake for swimming. As we travelled quite a bit we love tasting different foods and learning about different cultures. I can share ours with you
Aide
I'd like help working with me in the garden, deadheading, watering, clearing clutter and creating with the children or playing ping pong, badminton, boules on fine days and board games in the evening with me. Also help with feeding the various animals here, the 20 hens, 4 cats, the dog and the wild birds, taking the dog for walks, quite possible with me. Also I'd appreciate help with cooking and tasting your country's food. Basically as I am getting older I just want help in trying to keep my home comfortable, which involves all sorts of things, but nothing very specific and my grandchildren provide entertainment. Help with the computer would be good also.

My stay at Diana's was far away from being both, work, and away - because it felt like neither.
I was not sure if Diana would accept my offer, but I'm glad she did.
I stayed a bit over a week at Diana's, but it genuinely felt like I was staying at my family's place. It never really felt like I was away, but rather at home.

Although Francesca was only with me for one week it seemed longer because she did so much to help both with the animals, doing the ironing and feeding us all with great food! She is a great artist and left me 2 beautiful drawings of sheep. She got on very well with my children and grandchildren and I wish she could have stayed longer.....

I spent only one week in Diana's farm. It was a real pleasure for me walk in this beautiful countryside with her dogs, going to visit the sheep and the donkey sometimes. The home is full of flowers and good food from the vegetable garden. The work was mainly about cleaning, cooking and feeding animals, not too hard. The best part was talking to… read more

I had a great week on Diana's farm. It is a beautiful house/property in the countryside of Ireland, and Diana makes you feel at home. This was my first workaway experience so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I learned a lot in the short amount of time I was there!

I really enjoyed my time with Diana and her family. Diana is a very welcoming and friendly person.

I enjoyed staying with Diana. There is a lot to do on the farm and we were kept very busy. It was pleasant eating fresh things from the garden together and going into town together-- especially to the pub and the flower show. I liked looking after the sheep. I wish I could be there for the lambs!

Diana is a very welcome, friendly and sometimes maybe too busy woman. The farm and the landscape around her own looks very nice. Because she is so busy, you have really often the opportunity to come out of the quiete area. And she gives you a lift where ever....
