  Description

  Hello!
  We are Brenda and David, a friendly, retired English couple who have been living in the Dordogne in southwest France for the past 19years.Previously, we lived in England, the Middle East, Asia and the United States, and worked in the travel industry for almost two decades. Our work and travels gave us the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures.
  We love sharing  stories, exchanging experiences and welcoming new people into our lives.
  
  We are non-smokers and have no pets,enjoy the outdoors, walking, travelling, history, yoga and socialising with friends and acquaintances.
  Brenda loves cooking and experimenting with dishes from different countries. David is always happy to be the taste tester!
  We have an established  garden around our home, but due to a current hip problem, I'm temporarily unable to do much of the physical work myself. We are looking for someone who would help us maintain and improve it.
  Traits: reliable,self motivated and physically fit , enthusiastic and willing to learn, enjoys being outdoors and doesn't mind getting their hands dirty!
  A basic knowledge of gardening  is useful but not essential. Enthusiasm  and a willingness to learn is more important.
    Some tasks  you can expect: Digging , Weeding ,preparing flower beds,Planting, transplanting and dividing plants, Pruning and cutting back plants when appropriate; Watering , General garden maintenance and tidying.
  We will explain what needs doing.
  
  We live in a quiet and peaceful villagewith no nightlife and no public transport.For this reason, having your own car or another reliable means of transport is essential so you can explore the area independently .If you don't have your own transport, we can drive you to the nearest town Terrasson with shops,supermarkets, train station and public buses .It's a 15 minute drive .
  
  We have previously hosted a Workawayer and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We look forward to welcoming another friendly and considerate person into our home.
  We look forward to welcoming you to our little corner of France!
  
  Brenda and David
