  Description

  I live on a rural property, and teach classes on basket weaving and woven sculptures. My 2 acre vineyard died during an unusual cold spell 2 winters ago so I have taken out the dead plants and am replanting an acre this spring , and also with willow. I love my garden, walking the dog and coaching Special Olympic xcountry ski athletes.
  Most of the work on this property is from April to October. The lake is not far away and swimming in the summer is daily.

  Hébergement

  I have a private spare room in the house and a quaint ‘74 camper. Sometimes a ‘69 27 foot Airstream is also available.
  Bathroom is shared. I can adapt cooking for all preferences, I eat a lot of vegetarian dishes but enjoy meat on occasions too.

  Autres infos...

  A car is not essential. A bus stop is a 25 minute walk down the road ( or I can give you a ride)and a direct bus takes you all through the valley on your days off.
  I am up early every day, walking the dog before starting work around the garden or weaving in the studio . I’m not a night owl, but enjoy a pint and a night of live music on occasion. No smoking inside.
