wuvvum Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 https://www.workaway.info/355214849884-en.html DescriptionWe are located in southern France, it is land of 10.5 ha, with an old style castle on the top of the hill. The project is to build a well being center in the middle of nature, with a vast plantation of medicinal herbs. Part of the castle is waiting to be renewed. We are plan to be independent in food supply with permaculture within a year and the near future, energy independence. We need a lot of work in the garden and want to explore the little forest on our land to a place that people can rest and relax with nature. We also have many animals on our land. Right now we are two ladies ( 38 and 69 years old and two boys 8 and 10 years old live on this land and we are looking for someone who loves working in the garden and love animals , very handy in terms of repairing things.•Type of helpGardeningBuildingBabysitting / child careGeneral MaintenanceCooking / shoppingHelp with Eco projectHelp in the houseAnimal careArt projectHelp with Computers / internet•HelpWe got a huge garden and a little Forrest to be better organized, and general maintenance.•Cultural exchange and learning opportunitiesWe have an cozy room for whoever willing to help us including food.

This place is one hour and a half from mountain and one hour and a half from the sea. Two hours from Spain, one hour and 15 mins from the famous Lourdes. The number one region of organic farming in France. You will for sure learn and experience a lot while seeing us developing this project.•Languages spokenEnglish, Chinese, French•AccommodationStudio.

It's just too much though. If my maths is correct the round trip to pick me up would be the equivalent of driving to Jupiter. Via Krypton.

Dave_Q Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Or alternatively it's about the same distance as from Ghosty's house to SF18, or 1/4 of a SVM southern England repatriation mission.

Via Krypton.Alex, Nick is the type of guy who jumps in his Cobra with a slipping clutch to nip down to Le Mans from Aberdeen for the weekend. I really don't think a minor diversion across France is going to be much of an issue for him somehow.

Tickman Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Only Nick knows if it is too much and he made the offer so one can only assume that he weighed up the pros and cons before offering. A gracious acceptance to the offer of help can be the best response sometimes! drivewaymyway, The Moog, mrbenn and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucketeer Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Yesterday's weather was rather inclement (raining cats, dogs and horses, hailstones the size of hailstones, and a proper Gail Platt force headwind) so I haven't got as close to my next destination as I had planned. Therefore this morning I am jumping on a train for a little bit. Jerzy Woking, Justin Case, oldcars and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
