Description
We are Patrick (87) and Daniela (33) living near the town of Cobh in Cork harbour. We have one cat and about 30 quail hens. (Patrick is a retired artist.) We try to grow as many vegetables and fruit as we can in our garden, which is about three quarters of an acre, with a stream at the bottom of the garden and a field with cattle (not ours) on the other side.

Daniela is from Germany but is more Irish than German by now! Patrick is from England but has lived in Ireland for most of his life. He has had a long and varied career as botanical artist, which brought him to many different places in the world. He has a lot of interesting stories to tell if you are interested!
Aide
We mainly need help with gardening and DIY projects. Bring your wellie boots!
This year, we particularly need help with building fences, repairing a shed, cutting hedges and wood, planting, harvesting, weeding, etc.

Hébergement
Accommodation will be in our small guest room, or you can camp in the garden if you prefer. We only have one bathroom in the house, so this will be shared by all of us. No TV, but internet and a DVD player.
We eat mostly vegetarian or fish, and very little to no meat. Vegan is also possible as we don't eat much dairy, although we usually have lots of yummy quail eggs available. We are quite happy to try out foods from your country if you like cooking, but this is totally optional! Most of our food is home cooked and home baked, including our bread.
Autres infos...
We live about 20 minutes walk away from Cobh town, which has both a train and a bus to Cork city, and gives you lots of options for day trips. Cobh itself is quite a popular tourist town too, and has several pubs with occasional live music. You may also borrow our bikes or kayak. The beach is about 40 minutes walk away.
We live only 5 minutes walk from the nearest supermarket.

I stayed with Daniela and Patrick for two weeks.
I would recommend this workaway 100%.
It's accurate to its profile, jobs were easy and simple, flexible working hours, I had my own room fully furnished and comfortable, healthy and adapted meals provided according to allergies (which I am deeply grateful for) and the most important… read more
Patrick and Daniela welcomed me warmly. Both speak a very propper English and I could understand both very well. They were very attentive to my needs. They were fantastic hosts, they were very friendly, had good recommendations for the area. Daniela bakes delicious bread and Patrick is a… read more
