    Description

    We are a family of 5 - Andy, Lucy, Maya (13), Robin (5) & Pip (4). We have 2 dogs, Rudy & Buachaill, ponies (Charlie, Reggie & Daisy) and a very handsome Donkey (Flash William) all living together in a small homestead in Annamoe, Co Wicklow.

    Our home and garden are very much in the developing stages and this spring are looking for help from strong, capable, practically minded folk to prepare the vegetable garden as well help with the construction of a tree house and simple outbuildings.

    We hope for enthusiastic people who are willing to get involved - some of the help will be physical so applicants need to be prepared for some hard grafting!!

    We feel that the position is best suited to a couple or a couple of friends as we are often out all day leaving our workaways to get on with tasks.

    Annamoe is 10 mins from the stunning historical valley of Glendalough - possibly Ireland's most iconic visitors destination - and from here there are endless hiking trails into the hills.
    Local towns, Laragh & Roundwood have great pubs many with live music at weekends.

    We have turned a caravan into a cosy living space giving our workaways privacy and peace away from our busy family. It has a full size futon bed, carpet, electricity and heating - and a spectacular view!
    Breakfast and lunch, you look after yourself - we always have lots of cereal, eggs, meats, cheeses, fruits and bread in the house. We all help with cooking dinner and clearing up.
