Some knowledge of:
GardeningDIY and building projectsGeneral MaintenanceHelping around the houseAnimal CareMore details about your skills
I have done a fair amount of DIY over the years, am house trained in the black arts of the hoover, washing machine and tumble dryer. My late wife and I cared for a number of unwanted dogs so I am well aquaninted with looking after a large number of dogs at one time. but now I am on my own as the last one has now crossed the rianbow bridge. In europe I travel in my Caravelle, so if any tasks you require carrying out require tools you may not have, ie Heavy duty hammer Drill, let me know and I can fetch them with me. My van also has been used for my hosts clearing out rubbish for the recycling/rubbish tip and also for carrying items to large for a car, ie full sized plaster boards on my most recent visit.
Age
77
What else ...
I am probably not your usual type of Workaway person, but this is an opportunity to visit different places to seek my life home, but is it Home or Away? For 2022 I would seek a longer stay of some, but of course this is subject to those Brexit idiots who could well scupper any future plans, and of course the Covid problem. I am in the process of applying for a long term visa for France so 2023 I hope will give me more time to explore more areas of France.
