Title: Very cheap accommodation in exchange for a bit of gardening
Post by: Alexihen on April 26, 2009, 18:32:56

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)

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.
