Description
I live with my husband James in a small village in Dorset. it is a beautiful area surrounded by nature. It is two hours from London and close to many local attractions. We live in a historic old house, there is always plenty to do here. If you are a self starter you will definitely not be bored!
We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds. If you are outgoing and good humored we would love to host you! We can cater for all dietary requirements.
My husband James is a hunter gatherer who enjoys fishing, foraging mushrooms, has his own bees and grows plenty of fruit and vegetables. He is also an avid cook so you will never go hungry.
I am vegan and into living a healthy life. I love juicing, yoga, spirituality and talking to people from all walks of life!
We have three children, the oldest two are living abroad/studying and travelling and our youngest is still at school.
We would love to share our life with you and connect. We are predominantly looking for people to help in the garden - weeding and general garden maintenance etc. so it would be good if you're happy to get stuck in! But also general house chores! We also welcome yoga or other fitness teachers! If you have any specific skills please let us know.
In your free time there is a huge variety of things you could do such as foraging, local hikes, visit Dorchester, Sherborne, Cerne Abbas or Bridport a local arty town, go to the beach, Jurassic coast, spend time with the animals etc. (We have four dogs, one cat and lots of chickens.) We have a car that you are welcome to use.
There is a pub in our village. We live next door to the historic Cerne Abbas with the famous chalk giant carved into the hill.
