Description
Retired but busy. Two whippets, three chickens, 56 white fantail doves in the garden, lots of beehives in a field far away and an Etsy shop to run as well. The house and garden need lots of care and attention so I'll be pleased for the help you can offer.

Aide
Mainly knocking the garden into shape ready for family to visit and be impressed in August. No high skills level required even have a sit on lawn mower. Repainting the garden furniture would be helpful to.

Hébergement
Choice of two. One double bedroom is downstairs with the bathroom off the hall. The other is at the far end of the house, secluded and has it's own adjoining bathroom. That room can sleep five. Personally I have very little breakfast, not much lunch but a knife and fork supper at 7pm with the whippets in front of the seven o'clock news
( 6pm UK ) or at the kitchen table.
Autres infos...
I can collect from Ruffec, 16700,railway station and run people here and there as required. It's a farming area with miles and miles of open farmland, some forests and lots of good walking. There are great places to visit but little by way of public transport. This would suite a single person or a couple or two friends in separate rooms.

I spent the whole of July 2023 with this wonderful host. John's place is a lovely renovated farmhouse with a big garden where i spent my work time weeding and pruning, and also feeding and watering the chickens and doves.
I also prepared the evening meals which I very much enjoyed in the nice big kitchen where I had a lot of autonomy and cooked… read more
