Descrição
Hello and thank you for stopping by! We are, Simon and Dickon, a middle aged but young at heart couple living in a pretty and fun village (with a pub!) in South West France, 40 minutes south of Bergerac (and its airport) and 2 hours minutes north of Toulouse. The nearest train station is Monsempron-Libos.

Three years ago we bought another field and barn behind our home of 18 years and we'd like people to help us with gardening / landscaping. We have just finished renovating the barn and have just installed a beautiful pool. The heavy gardening is pretty much all done but it's pleasant gardening that has now to be done! Our old house is now a Gite / Holiday rental.

In return, you can enjoy a newly renovated en-suite room in our 300 year old stone barn, and take advantage of everything the village and area has to offer. There's lots to do and we'd be happy to show you around. We love cooking so you'll be well fed. We have a 11 y/o very friendly black Lab / German Shepherd cross called Oli so this assignment would probably best suit someone comfortable with dogs. You're welcome to use an off-road bike (we have spare helmets and kit) and enjoy the amazing trails or of course there are running trails.

Please do 'shout out' with questions.

Joe, joined us for a week to help us with some very heavy gardening and planting. We enjoyed his company and are really grateful for his help.

Good luck with your next steps Joe and stay safe in these bizarre times.

So, James left us yesterday. We're very sad! He's an amazing guy - utterly charming, funny, very hard working and sociable. Our garden lighting (which was his project) is amazing and we love it. James is a workaway with proper skills and qualifications in electrics - and it shows. It's great to meet someone who knows his subject. James: you're… read more
