Some jobs you will be left to yourself to complete while others we would work together with you. We have asked for 20 hours a week which can be done over a few days with the rest of the time free to explore the island on a bike. Or you can potter a little each day. I like to find out what your expectations are here so you get to see and experience what you want and we get the best out of you. We are a relaxed family group here.
