  Descrição

  Hi,
  
  We are looking for a fabulous person to help us out looking after our ambitious formal garden and family of cats, goats, chickens, a horse and carp . We live in a rural setting which is quiet but not isolated. There are buses to the local town but not at convenient times.
  
  We started this journey ten years ago. Things seem to be getting a little harder now and we would welcome help in the garden (weeding mainly) and with light chores around the house like sweeping and cooking. I am not a task master and there will be plenty of down time for you to enjoy the coast and life in this area.
  
  
  We live a few minutes walk to the Obidos lagoon and less than 5 minutes drive to the ocean. The location is rural and we have one neighbour who can help in emergencies. It takes 10 minutes drive to get into our local town and enjoy the facilities there.
  
  The house has forest on one side and open views all around. There are fantastic walks on your doorstep and you can cycle easily to the beach and enjoy the scenery. You can also walk to the local restaurant. When you are at home here you are in the midst of nature but not isolated.
  
  If this opportunity interests you, please get in touch!

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We are both from the UK. John used to work in the engineering field and I did office work in a legal capacity. I also trained in gardening. I can speak Portuguese but some additional help would be good and I can also speak French although I have not used it for a while. We are active members of a pro-Palestinian group and you are welcome to come to meetings with us and support this cause. John is adept at managing his koi pond and the landscaping projects in the garden. We have no family here but you will meet our neighbours who are young and very kind. There are many activities going on in the local town which is a centre for ceramics, sport and folklore. I love African drumming and percussion instruments. I also play the ukulele in a group and attend practises every week.

  Ajuda

  We need help with hardscaping in the garden; mainly the construction of paths, walls, digging, weeding, moving heavy loads of manure, watering (if dry). Pruning but I will always be on hand if you need help. I may ask you to help with jobs indoors like hoovering or sweeping, cleaning windows or help with meals. You can also help with the animals especially if you are used to horses.
