Description

During COVID lockdown I ended up staying and working on a sheep and cattle farm in Wales for over a year longer than planned.

During that time I did 2 Lambing seasons (5 in total now), 2 seasons of shearing (4 total), fencing, helped to build a house, took up mandolin making, got some experience milking sheep and cheese making, improved my butchery and carpentry skills, helped out with gardening and regularly manned the farmer's market stall.

Since then I have visited various workaways in Ireland, Norfolk, Dorset, Devon, Somerset, Scotland and France gaining experience working with;
Orchard restoration, fruit picking, chickens, turkeys, ducks, milking goats, electric fences, pigs, poly tunnels and vegetable gardens, wood working.
I like hard work and learning new things.

I enjoy cooking, hiking, mountains, beaches, fires and stories but above all I love music and will be travelling with an Irish bouzouki working on a repertoire songs and tunes.

I have had two doses of Covid 19 vaccine and 1 booster. I am happy to take whatever precautions a host needs to feel comfortable.

Rob and Clemency have been with us in the coldest months of the year and they were rocking it! They are very respectful and always bring humor and positive vibes, no complaining. They are hard working and can work independently very well too. We enjoyed their company and they have been very sweet for our daughter despite the language barrier. … read more

Staying with Alberto and Alice was truly an incredible experience. The surrounding area, with its woods, town, and stunning gorges, made for a beautiful setting that was perfect for both work and relaxation. The tasks I was given were always varied and engaging, offering plenty of opportunities for learning about the polytunnel, tending to … read more

I stayed with Thomas, Barbara and Felix for just under 4 weeks in autumn and had a great time. I really enjoyed working in the market garden whether it was harvesting, weeding, putting up new fences, building a new chicken coop or planting trees work was always varied and interesting and Felix was always happy to answer questions.

Thank you very … read more

Rob and his partner, Clemmie, came for a month to help me out with lambing and other jobs around the farm. They were a huge help with all aspects of the sheep husbandry and Rob's previous experience was incredibly useful as he could do all tasks competently and without supervision.
Rob was also great at all sorts of workshop and woodwork tasks … read more

Brilliant help with prepping the wind turbine site - quickly understanding the technical aspects and carving out a base area. Highly recommended. versatile and a coupe who make a nice team. We enjoyed some strumming on the deck with a cider of an evening - sorry the apples weren't quite ready. Wishing you well on your journeys through the Isles...

Me and my partner stayed with Dharma and Cassandra for just over two weeks and had a lovely time. I mostly worked with Dharma on the wind turbine. This involved setting up a winch in a concrete cast to lower the mast. I learned a lot about permaculture, living off grid and particularly the practicalities of getting electricity from solar. Dharma … read more

My partner and I stayed with Hugh for ten days in December and had a really great time. Hugh is a fascinating man that I cannot recommend the company of enough. We did various small jobs; digging up potatoes, weeding, planting tulips, clearing gutters and I also got to dismantle a collapsing shed which I enjoyed very much. It is a beautiful place … read more

My partner and I stayed with Mandie for ten days, mostly working on building a fruit cage. Mandie was a wonderful host, always making sure we had everything we needed and always making great food for us. The geese slowly warmed to us over our stay and by the last day we could feed them out of our hands. Shaftesbury is a lovely town to explore in … read more

We had a lovely time in Newtownallen with Michael, Celine and John! The farm was absolutely beautiful and the dogs, Katy, Chico and Harry were incredibly loveable. We had great fun painting and working in the orchard. Our hosts took great care of us and John was a delight 😊
