  Description

  I am going to offer respite for people who care for relatives at home. There is lots of work to do on my house and garden and orchard to make it even close to what I want it to be. That's where I could really use some help. I have my mother living with me and it is this relationship that gave me the idea.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I offer a comfortable stay with food from around the world, largely vegetarian. Perhaps we could learn some dishes from each other? You might want to join me for yoga 2 times per week and some mindfulness exercises. We will be talking in English and perhaps French about our lives and dreams and perhaps to look at what ways we can make ourselves and the world a little better. I can take you to some of the beautiful / historic places locally.

  Cet hôte propose un échange linguistique
  English (British version) is my first language and I would be happy to help others with their English. I also speak French fluently but need to improve and would appreciate practise. German is one that I'd like to learn too.

  Hébergement

  The areas of the house that are habitable are large, furnished and comfortable, the available furnished bedrooms will be a room with 2 single beds and another with 1 double. At the moment there is only 1 bathroom for us to share (mum has her own bathroom). By the time people come there might be another bathroom already? I would provide breakfast, lunch and a light supper though would be very happy to buy ingredients chosen by those coming to stay, especially if they'd like to join in the cooking. Because mum lives here I like to keep the atmosphere like a functioning family.
