Description
We are Simon (55 year old ex-timber framer with a small recycling business) and Frauke, (59 year old hobby musician) with two grown up daughters (both of whom are off on their travels at the moment), living in the beautiful Gers countryside (between Bordeaux and Toulouse). We live in a big stone house, with a large organic garden and lots of fruit trees.
We can always use some help keeping our unruly gardens under control, with the odd building project, vegetable gardening, and occasionally with the recycling business.
We spend a lot of time all together, sharing meals, having fires in the evening when the weather is nice, going for walks.
We have two very cute little dogs, and a cat. We have a ping-pong table, a pool table, a music room, a slackline and a trampoline all up for being used! Our internet connection is fast, wifi access available. We also have bikes if you want to go exploring the countryside.
We are omnivores at the moment but are happy to cater to vegetarian and vegan diets.
We both enjoy playing music (drums & guitar) and would welcome anyone into having a jam!
We are also open to offering another option where guests have their own self-catering accomodation ( kitchen, sitting room & bedroom ) in exchange for 2 hours help/day instead of the usual 4 to 5 hrs/day.
We are always happy to meet new people, no experience necessary but smiles & enthusiasm very welcome. We enjoy chatting, tea drinking and philosophising about life the universe and everything.
Looking forward to meeting you!
P.S we speak mainly English at home and are not really suitable for anyone looking for French language immersion.
