  Descrição

  I now need help with cutting grass with a strimmer under to almond and walnut trees. Painting walls white and stacking winter wood.
  In a few weeks winter hay will be positioned and need to be covered with black plastic. I sometimes need help fence making and repairing, feeding and checking the water for horses is a daily job and the horses are not rideable.
  
  I live in an old house, a few things where I live are modern, but I live in absolute SIMPLICITY. In the summer it is fresh inside compared to the heat outside. The hot water is available in the evening twice a week. I usually shop once or twice a week and am happy if you come with me to choose your food. I am prepared to cook one meal a day, although sometimes it will be prepared the day before. Therefore breakfast you will get for yourselves and some times you will need to prepare a meal by yourself, unless I am home. I am flexible when you do tasks and usually sit down with you and make a list of things to be done and let you choose which jobs you would like to do and at what time of day.
  
  I live in the country just outside a Castel del Piano, 10 min on foot into town.
  Now we are coming into autumn so you can do fabulous walks in the country side, hire bikes and go Mountain biking or Jump on a bus and go tò the beach for the day. There are several places where there are hot springs near by - both free in the wild and if you work hard I will take you for a treat.
  The town has everything basic that one needs. In summer one hour and a quarter hours away from the beach. Public transport is bus and can take you to the nearest cities like Grosseto (45 minutes), Florence (2 and a half hours) and Siena (one hour and a half). Rome(3 hours and a half) by bus and train, the station in Grosseto. I am a flexi-tarian mostly vegetarian but eat fish, cheese and also sometimes meat . I haven't got a television but have unlimited internet.
  
  I am very busy with my work as an osteopath but I try to work 3 long days a week and have off 2 days to dedicate to the farm. You will have some time doing tasks alone but I try to do tasks together with you when I can.
  
  I dont have alot of money to spend on guests and I entourage you tò come either as two girls or a couple because It Is so much more fun working with someone that alone.
