Description
Hi, we are an active retired married couple, living in rural France (Dordogne) in the summer with our two horses and dog.
As part of our little farmstead of 4 hectares we have a barn that we need help restoring and a perimeter fence finishing.
Peter is a retired chartered surveyor and can pass on basic building skills.
Jayne looks after the home and the horses. If you are familiar with horses and can ride there will be the chance to hack out. She also sews and is more than happy to teach.
We are surrounded by over 1000 hectares of stunning forest, ideal for walks or mountain biking. The local town is only 6 kilometres away,
