    Descrição

    Hey guys,

    Welcome to our little patch of Paradise!. ☺️ Let me introduce myself and my family and home....
    I am Cherie, my hubby is Ian we are a couple, from Australia, and UK, and after living between our two countries over the past 30 years and travelling a lot in between, we have decided to buy a house and land in France and start life again.

    We are ready to welcome you, share our little piece of France and our new French life with you. Come and enjoy some fun and peace during your travels. We have comfy accommodation and delicious food to share with you.

    A little about us...

    After travelling through 5 states of Australia (I was born there but to be honest hadn't seen much of it!), Vietnam, Bali, Italy, Greece back to Oz to visit our youngest daughter over the past couple of years we are ready now to settle into life in France in our lovely, old, very old in parts ! 😀
    ( unmodernised but comfortable) ---

    As well as renovating our home, building a permaculture outdoors, we will be running 2 small businesses from home. And turning our front field and part of the rear area into a petit field camping site. So there are many projects large and small.

    The main projects for 2025 are to get the Vegetable garden up to producing all year, unveil the orchard which is underneath 15 years of bramble growth, build a shelter so we can introduce a few animals to the garden, some fencing, a composting toilet and shaded area for our Caravan extra sleeping quarters for extra workaways. So there is plenty to do and learn.

    We look forward to hosting up to 3 people at a time.

    Please be aware that a lot of this work is physical so a good level of health and fitness is needed.
    We run an organised timetable so that we get a good days work done, however there is also lots of rest and relax times. We have a variety of tasks / projects and are happy for you to choose which you would like to help with, we are happy to teach you skills if you'd like to try something new.

    2 days a week off and all evenings are your own 5 hours a day working and learning with us and sometimes without us. Therefore a good level of independence is required.
    If you have your own transport there is plenty of space to park up, if you have your own sleeping / camper we can accommodate you alongside other workaways

    We love to spend time with young minded , yet self sufficient people of all ages who have a passion for life, who see the positive in most situations and are happy to laugh at themselves and the world.

    We are a non smoking , mainly plant based, household although we do have eggs from the hens which we give away as we do not eat the.
    If you eat meat you are welcome however will need to cook prepare your own on the BBQ, no judgements here 🙂
    The hens are ex battery farm rescues and help us in the garden.

    We are a happy home, with music, yoga, walking, reading / quiet times as a regular part to our days along with the physical challenge of setting up our new life and enjoying ourselves as much as possible.

    So if you think you'll fit in with us we would be very happy to hear from you.

    Our closest Village is Roumazieres-loubert.

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    As a Mental Fitness, Confidence and Wellness Coach for those wanting help to make lifestyle changes and decisions, I am passionate about helping others to get the best out of their goals

    We live in a small Hamlet in central South West France, in an area of natural beauty, where through the year there are many outdoor activities to enjoy.

    We are surrounded by beautiful country side and are close to the Lacs De Charentes, which are fantastic for swimming and boating during the summer months.

    We are happy to teach you English and are happy to receive lessons in French. And other languages and to learn a little about your culture and homeplace

  • Ajuda

    Ajuda

    We have just under 3 acres of land surrounding the house including a small woodland area and another small woodland area close by (5 mins walk away).
    We hope to incorporate a large vegetable garden, Fruit and Nut Orchards, Chickens, Geese Ducks, Sheep, and other rescue animals.

    We have fencing that needs to be built, animal shelters that need building, a toilet and shower block to be built (Eco and Composting if possible).

    We would like to build a fire-pit and gazebo.
    Plant vegetables using permaculture techniques, we will be installing water saving ideas including recycling grey water, water collection butts and possibly build a natural swimming pool / pond.

    We also hope to have bees in the woodland area in the not too far future.

    However to start we have a lot of garden general clearing and tidying to do so it's all hands on deck to remove 10 years of over growth from the gardens and grounds.

    The 2 Wooded /small forrested areas need a complete ground level clearing after not being cared for over 15 years.

    Barns to clear out..... Grounds to be cleared and divided into House areas and storing / animal areas

    We have a lot of furniture to up-cycle and recycle so that it is once again beautiful and functional, so if you are creative here's your chance to show it.

    Lots to do, you can choose what you are happy to do from our weekly list of current projects.

    We are also getting plans together to open a Vegan cooking workshop area and will be looking for help in setting up the rooms / Produce garden to supply the workshop students as well as our home

    We are very happy to teach the skills we have and to learn from you the volunteer if you have skills we don't!
