Description

Hi, My name is Sara , I live part time in London with my husband, and part time in the South of France (sometimes with my husband!). We have 2 boys, who are now at University and more or less living away from home.

I have lots of hobbies and leisure activities, mainly centered around sports and physical activities, but also some creative and intellectual! In London I live close to the river Thames and spend a lot of time rowing, running and walking alongside, the Thames. In France I also run and walk alongside, and row and sail on, our nearby Etang. I practice yoga and pilates, mainly on-line so I am lucky to be able do this from anywhere. When I have the chance I explore with my bike, cycling through the vineyards near our house in France, and discovering nearby towns and villages.
I also enjoy photography and would love the opportunity to explore a new area with my camera. We have had an allotment for over 20 years where we grow fruit and vegetables, I have a lot of experience and a good knowledge of growing things. It is very rewarding to cook a meal using ingredients grown on the allotment. When time (and Covid) allows I enjoy skiing which is something i have done for most of my life. Lastly, and importantly I enjoy learning French. I studied to A Level standard at school, and since then have periodically taken lessons to continue improving. I really enjoy speaking french, but despite many hours of learning there is still much to improve.

Why do I want to workaway? I am looking to meet new people and have new adventures and experiences. I love being in France and would like to live as part of a french community and get to know an area that I haven't previously visited. I am lucky that I have now reached a time in my life where I have the flexibility to be able to spend some time away from my husband (who is very understanding and supportive!) and my sons (who are plenty old enough to take care of themselves). I would like to spend time with likeminded people in a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Basic DIY, growing up in a family where my parents renovated the family home and then going on to take on several renovation / re-building projects of my own and later on, with my husband. Lots and lots of experience of decorating - my favourite job is filling. I enjoy cooking, and am happy to cook meat, fish and vegetarian.
Mother tongue english, I can also speak French, and would be happy to participate in a French / English language exchange opportunity but would prefer not to be in a 100% english speaking environment.

I grew up with a vegetable patch at home (although I have to admit to not being very interested in it at the time), Since maturing! we now have our own family allotment close to our home in London for over 20 years, i am pretty experienced at growing fruit and vegetables and all the things that go with that.

I love spending time with animals, I have lived with dogs for most of my life and really do love them, cats are OK too!. In the past i have owned kept chickens cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, gerbils and goldfish!

I have worked as a holiday company representative in a ski resort, and also as a chalet housekeeper / cook.

I am good with computers, and can normally work things out when they develop a problem. I have loads of experience with excel and word. I also work with accounting packages (Xero, Sage & Quickbooks).

I am fit, healthy and active. I am responsible and sensible. I have a clean driving license and am confident driving in France.
