Description
For the winter of 2022/23, I am planning another tip to the United Kingdom.. I have found a familiar place to visit in Uig, Isle of Skye, Scotland; and now looking for another place in Scotland to visit. Looking for dates of Mid-December to end of January somewhere in Scotland.

I enjoy outdoor work such as cutting and splitting firewood, grounds work, etc. I have done this type of work all my life, but now that I am retired and live in a mobile home park, I do not have this type of work to do for myself and like to help others that are in need of this type of work. I also enjoy working inside such as painting, carpentry, and most other types of work.

Although my age is just a number, I know that most people will think I may be too old to do this type of work. Let me toss that idea in the trash, as I am fit and able to do most work around a home or larger property.

Thanks for reading my profile, have a wonderful day.

I have been a home brewer for over 9 years, and hope that some of my travels will be working in brew pubs, micro breweries, etc. I hope to learn new recipes for good beers that I have not tried as of yet.

Sorry for the delay in inputting feedback. Imma and Vincent are a wonderful couple, with two very nice younger sons. I stayed with them for a little over 7 weeks, including one week with Imma's parents in the Pyrenees. I worked on their home, a rental flat near Tarragona, and on Imm'a parents summer home in the mountains. I did all types of… read more

If Douglas contacts you, don't be put off by his age. He is really fit, always in a good mood, happy to help and a very skilled.

Doug stayed with us for 6 weeks, arriving 2 days after we had the worst storm for many years. He was willing to got involved in anything that needed doing and was the only reason we managed to get the hotel reopen after the damage the storm caused. He would take the initiative once a task was given to him and would just get on and do it, He was… read more

To say that Anne and Billy are fantastic hosts would not be enough. I had the honor of being with this wonderful family and help them for 7 weeks. Two nights before I arrived they had a storm with 120 mph (192 kph) winds that blew down 6 trees. In the 6 weeks that followed I cut, split and stacked firewood to clear the garden for an upcoming… read more
