Description

UPDATE MAY 2025:
I'm all sorted for May , June, July 2025 but thank you for looking at my profile.

I'm an energetic, physically fit, single, English middle aged lady with loads of life experience, wishing to "Workaway" between May-July 2025. I'm happiest when I'm out in what is called "countryside " where I come from. I've just finished renovating my old Victorian house and garden whilst also working as a Support Worker in our nearest Accident and Emergency Department in a large 1,000 bed hospital. I've got Level 2 Horticulture Qualifications from the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) and have had a special leaning towards "The Recycled Garden" for over 25 years. My current garden is created from a wilderness and operates under the mantra of permaculture and of course, "recycling". I grow most of my own veg.
From 2002-2008 I worked in a UK hotel, then started running B&B in my own house for 12 years alongside running ski chalets all over Europe for 6 winters. I love an adventure!
I grew up rurally with seven of our own horses and I still live rurally, helping my farmer friends with haymaking, lambing and cattle. I am still involved with the horse world. I rely on a log burner for the much of my heat so I do a lot of log chopping!
The charity work I do mainly revolves around farming; I update a (Wordpress) farming website, promote agriculture, edit a newsletter, assist in promoting education in farming/agriculture and a few other random things.
I'm lucky enough to ski for most of January; I also play outdoor tennis several times a week all year long. My three adult children and grandson don't need me day to day so I'm free to travel where and when I want, which I want to do 'cos I can!!
