Descrição
I live with my husband James in a beautiful area surrounded by nature, close to many local attractions. We live in a historic old house. We have four very affectionate dogs, two of which are rescue. We are looking for people who can look after the animals and house when we are away. Also I am involved in a mentoring programme for young offenders which sometimes means I have to be away for a few days so at these times we need someone who is happy to walk and feed the dogs. Good for animal lovers as we also have one elderly cat, lots of chickens and one runner duck. We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds. We can cater for all dietary requirements.
My husband James, enjoys fishing, he has his own bees and grows plenty of fruit and vegetables for our own use in our lovely walled garden. Everything we grow is non profit and any surplus we donate. So you will never go hungry! James has recently returned from a month in India doing yoga teacher training so if yoga interests you, you are welcome to have a go. I am also a gong practitioner and could introduce you to a sound bath.
In your free time there is a huge variety of things you could do such as foraging, visit Dorchester, Sherborne, Cerne Abbas with the famous giant or Bridport a local arty town, go to the beach, Jurassic coast, spend time with the animals. Straight from the house we have many scenic walks and we live next to an historic church. We have a car that you are welcome to use as well as bicycles.
There is a pub in our village.

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Esther) para o anfitrião
I spent three weeks with James and Jemima and it has been an absolutely amazing experience. The work, mostly in the beautiful walled vegetable garden, was fun and educational, and they are very conscientious to not let you work too much and take enough time off. James is a great cook who is cooking up feasts with his self caught meat and home… read more

Esther was fantastic and a great help. She is very easy going, it felt like a friend was staying! The three weeks flew by. Esther is warm, funny and very bright and was a pleasure to host. We look forward to her coming again in the future.

When I arrived James picked me up at the station and there I already met one of the house dogs, very docile and friendly. From the first day I felt welcomed, James and Jemima showed me and explained all my functions in the garden, they… read more

It was a pleasure having Yasu to stay for 7 weeks over the Christmas period. He is very kind, friendly and helped out enthusiastically in the garden. It was a joy seeing Yasu's english progress whilst he was here. We wish you all the best and will miss you!

How wonderful hosts James and Jemima are! They’re such nice people. They have a huge garden, a nice house as well as lovely dogs so you’ll never be bored. So I helped them through gardening and general chores. Also they’ve taken me to many places in order not to be bored. I spent Christmas with their family in an old manor house. It was an… read more

An easygoing household with spacious accommodation, I had a large light and airy room with ensuite bathroom all to myself and the use of a cosy TV lounge, as well as the main kitchen. Loved the ease of Aga cooking! The warmth emanating made the kitchen feel like the real hub of the house. The main jobs that needed attention were weeding and… read more

Kim lived with us for two and a half weeks. She was mainly weeding in the vegetable garden, but she also helped look after the cats and dogs, plus some tidying and cleaning. She was excellent in the garden and made a real difference. A big help to us! We would have her back 100%! She was very easy to get on with and to chat to. All the animals… read more
