Small holding deep in the countryside of Scotland border country
Borders
We live part time in the Scottish Borders when we are not in Malta. We are a couple in our late sixties with children and grandchildren living in the uk. We have a large garden orchard and a small soft fruit growing area. We need help in the garden and outbuildings. Maintenance and pruning and weeding.
We have to cut back trees and undergrowth all the time. We use our own wood in our wood burning stoves. We need help mostly in July august and early September and mostly in garden and orchard. We can teach you pruning of fruit trees and propagating plants,
We eat most meals together. We eat fresh produce and fruit from the garden. Own large double bedroom and shared bathroom with shower and bath. Breakfast at 8 am and work till 1.30 pm when we break for simple salad lunch or homemade soup and cheeseboard. Afternoons free. Good WiFi. Car owners would find this easier as we are in the countryside. Use of bicycles. Nearest village is Duns or Greenlaw. Easy to cycle to. Supper every evening at 7.30 pm.
Husband is a sculptor. We like hiking. Dee a superb cook. Lots of reading as we have thousands of books. We play croquet and lots of games.
Dee speaks fluent French. She also speaks a little Arabic We like to have couples ideally over 25 please. We will not take anyone under the age of 25 as we are not in a village or town. So please do not apply if you are under 25.
