Help in my garden and with my Highland cows in the wilderness of Olofström, Sweden

Infos

  Description

  Help and play on a farm by a lake in a forest in Sweden's southernmost wilderness.
  Great fishing, use of canoes, motor boat, sauna by the lake, fully equipped kitchen, fibre optic Internet and large home cinema. Two pianos and other instruments are also available.
  In exchange I need a few helping hands to roll out hay balls to the Highland cows, some grass cutting, trimming tiny trees and other gardening jobs,
  I need two people as the hay balls are heavy to push, and the feeding rack can be heavy to open.
  I'm 60 something and manage this with my daughter and grand-daughter, but all my kids are away for the winter.
  I'm always open to discover other cultures, and am a mixture of many cultures myself, having lived and travelled on four continents.
  You'd need your own car as I have only my camper at the moment. I can provide the basic foods.
  You'd have a double bedroom and use of most of the house - cosy corners with wood burners etc.
  The house is centrally heated. There are two bathrooms, but only one shower. My bedroom is at the other end of the house.
  Nearest supermarket is 15 km away and about an hour away is a bigger town with cinemas, shopping malls, coffee shops, variety of restaurants, pubs etc.
  Copenhagen is 3 hours by car or train, and also has the nearest airport.
  The farm is a 6 km drive through the forest.
  There is no public transport closer than the nearest town, but I can pick-up and drop by the station about 40 mins away.
