Shey

Greetings.
We are an English & Kenyan couple living in the French countryside.
We speak English, Swahili, Kikuyu, Kisii and a little French( We are attending French lessons).

We value connection with other cultures and love sharing our way of life with others. We believe in the power of exchange—whether it’s knowledge about permaculture, sustainability, or simply learning from each other’s experiences. Our aim is not only to create a self-sufficient space but also to foster a sense of community where everyone feels welcome and inspired by the natural world around us.

We are surrounded by mountains, lakes and nature . We are looking to sympathetically restore a 12th century French farmhouse in order to create a self sufficient, low impact community or retreat.
Depending on seasons, We need help with;
Clearing out barns and attic
Building a greenhouse
Help with planting out seedlings, sowing seeds
Help with food preservation
Help with building a greenhouse
Setting up pottery studio

We believe that our home is best enjoyed by many and would like to share it with you.

We are a mixed family of 6. 2 adult kids and 2 small children. On your stay with us, only Martyn and Lisper will be at home, but they often visit. *Key Note* We're Vegetarian but you're free to have meat. We offer Fullboard meals or you're free to cook something for you, home gym, wifi, private room with shared bathroom, bicycles. For campers, we have a big field for you!. We are quiet chilled out, love sports, gardening, going to farmers markets and flea markets ( you could join if you want to tour around) and travel often. We have 2 dogs, 1½year mallinois/beauceron and a 3months old border collier & 2 independent cats. We love the slow life and hoping that you will love the life in the countryside. We respect everyone who will be welcome in our home.
