Come help us with gardening and painting in Carna, Ireland

The experience

I live in a rural country cottage right beside a white sandy beach I am absolutely useless at gardening and I would just love to try and get the place into shape somehow there is no force labor or nothing it's just something I would be happy to have help with. I also have a large stable of classic cars so if anyone has an interest in that it would be also nice. I can give tours of the locality on your days off and there are also lots of walks.

Program Details

I would just love to find somebody who is at home trying to tidy up a garden or a little bit of planting flowers and seeds or small vegetables.. if someone has an interest in classic car restoration it would be good too. In your free time there is a lot of places where you can go for good walks or rambles.. it's not a place for somebody who likes city life it's quite far from the city..

Activities & Shift

There are loads of activities around here for somebody who likes countryside lots of hikes and walks seaside exploring the beaches even just sitting down in silence or painting or writing but it's not pubs and clubs certainly not... I can do road trips on your days off that's fine with me also.. shopping can be done in the local village or if there are things that are specially needed like certain type of foods it's once a week trip to the nearest town.. is a white sandy beach right beside me there's fresh cockles on seafood to be got regularly.. it's a great place for somebody who likes to write or read or do painting or drawing on their spare time..

Rules

Basically the only rules I have is not to take very long showers because it's heated by electricity and keep the bathroom clean if possible and the cooking area clean.
