  Description

  We bought a 17th century farmhouse and barns august 2019, bringing our animals with us. This is the first time I have ever had land or looked after my horses by myself. They have always been on livery before! So I'm learning fast! So we've rebuilt the horse barns, put a new roof on the 15th century barn, its been tidied up a lot.
  The house is on the edge of a forest, with some near neighbors in a small hamlet of five houses. We have need of someone who can help me with some general husbandry, the stream needs clearing, we have fallen trees that need sawing up and stacking for firewood, we have brambles and ferns all trying to eat the electric fencing! The garden needs some steps adding into one of the slopes, the hedges need cutting back. So please, I need help to conquer and control what Ive set up!
