I live in a lovely part of Brittany, one and a half miles from Roscoff and one and three quarters of an hour from St Malo.
I need a bit of help through the summer with gardening both in my own garden and in my two polytunnels and outside veggie beds.  If anyone or a couple would like to have a week's self-catering holiday for £150 in one of the houses in my garden in exchange for some gardening work they are most welcome.

Hey, we could come too and I could bring a sulky 16 year old AND a manic 12 year old ! ;D
OH would only be happy if gardening involved wood or building... ::)

I think I would slink off and do the gardening in peace........ 8)
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

I can't tell who's serious and who isn't!  Not a lot of gardening, an hour or so a day or two half days - up to you.   Just thought it might help someone have a cheaper French break and help me get some gardening done.
