Descrição
I am looking for help over the next few months to assist with indoor renovation and some land management tasks, including work in the vegetable gardens.
There are several projects using traditional natural building methods with old recycled mud and straw bricks ( known in Bulgaria as karpitch ) . In some communities it's called cob building. Working with clay plaster is great fun. We start by melting down old broken mud bricks with water and adding fresh straw as a binder.
My name is Carol and I am originally from Scotland. In 2006 I came to Cherven for a short holiday and left 6 days later having put a deposit down to buy an old abandoned property on the outskirts of the village. Cherven is situated in the Rusenski Lom Natural Park and is 40 kilometers south west of Ruse. Within 2 years I had given up my old life of working 9-5 and reinvented myself as a "quasi peasant" . I grow a lot of vegetables ( organically ), keep chickens , have a dog and cats.
I enjoy having working guests come to stay and to share this beautiful spot with magnificent views.
There is always plenty to do including for example, clearing land, weeding, planting, harvesting, preserving food, making compost, basic building, repairing and remodelling.
There are always lots of ongoing projects which are often weather dependent and whether you have the skills or not to help take them forward.
There are guest bedrooms in the upstairs part of my house, which is now a 100 years old and was built with mud and straw bricks. This part of the property has its own access, a kitchen and toilet/ showering facilities. Good wholesome food is provided. There is excellent wifi access.
I am particularly interested in people who enjoy land work and gardening and/or who have basic building trade skills but have generally found that everyone has something to contribute.
I am flexible in terms of tasks and time input and we can agree what would work for both of us.

Algo mais...
Cherven is situated in the Russenski Lom Natural Park and is well known in Bulgaria for its medieval ruins, caves and rock churches. There are lovely walks in and around the village. There is a post office and a library but NO general convenience store. There is also a lovely outside cafe/bar by the river at the foot of the medieval attraction which is not generally open in the winter months, but a great place to hang out the rest of the year.
The nearest ATM accessible by public transport is in Ruse: our nearest city ( 40 kms to the north east ). Ruse is also the only place you can get public transport to Cherven. There are two buses on weekdays to and from Ruse and one on a Saturday and Sunday. Ruse, situated next to the Danube river and the border with Romania, has a very large and beautiful central square area which is known as "Little Vienna", because of its layout and architecture. A great place to hang out on days off people watching from the numerous pavement cafes.
It is also possible to take a trip to Bucharest from Ruse on the Bosphor Express ( a slow train which runs daily between Bucharest and Istanbul ). Bucharest is 60kms from Ruse and there are also direct buses from the airport or the centre to Ruse which can be booked online.

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Sebastian)
Sebastian was a great person to join our life here. He asked to come initially for only a few days as he was on a cycling tour and wanted to visit some places in this area, but ended up staying with us for 6 weeks.

I spent two pleasant weeks with Carol in her beautiful house, I will keep a very good memory. She is really interesting and her place is very peaceful, if you want to spend some time in the nature, that's a perfect place ! The accomodations were very very good and the food so healthy.
Thank you again :)
