Helping Hands Handywoman

I regularly see posts where people are offering to give away stone from collapsed walls or old buildings on their land. This post is just to give you an idea of a way of using those stones to your advantage.

This sloping garden suffered a retaining wall collapse at the rear and after it was repaired, all this stone was left behind. The owner asked for my help to put his plan into action. We created a dry stone wall part way up his garden, which we will soon backfill with earth to create a flat area for seating in his garden, which he currently doesn't have. This is a great way to use up what was just a pile of stones that were otherwise in the way. Within the pile we found some millstones which we placed as steps and then used wooden posts to finish the steps as a woodland style pathway. The owner is absolutely chuffed that he didn't have to lug all those stones down the hill to get rid!!

With a couple of weeks of bad weather forecast, why not put the time into clearing out the clutter!

So far, since starting this, I have helped 2 lovely ladies clear out a car full of clothes and bric-a-brac with some lovely stories and laughs along the way.

Everything usable was donated to charities of their choosing.

If you would like some help making extra space and less clutter to clean, just get in touch 😊

These mild winter days are perfect for cutting back, pruning and tidying up the garden in preparation for Spring 🌱🌼

If you would like some help getting your garden into shape, just get in touch. I often work alongside my clients to help with the tasks they find more difficult (or to do the jobs they hate!) so I can work alone or we can do it together 😊

Our friends at Les Ecots Sheep Farm are on the lookout for a working sheepdog. If anyone knows of one looking for a new home, get in touch with them here ➡️ Les Ecots

Wanted - sheep DOG

Our lovely border collie is ready to take his well earned retirement. Unfortunately, despite being black and white the sheep aren't fooled by our feline replacement - she just doesn't have the same authority 😆.

If anyone knows where we can get a trained, preferably male, collie without having to remortgage the farm, please let us know. Thank you

Notre adorable border collie est prêt à prendre une retraite bien méritée. Malheureusement, malgré leur pelage noir et blanc, les moutons ne se laissent pas berner par notre remplaçante féline : elle n'a tout simplement pas la même autorité 😆.

Si quelqu'un sait où nous pouvons trouver un collie dressé, de préférence mâle, sans avoir à hypothéquer la ferme, merci de nous le faire savoir. Merci.

Feeling overwhelmed by too much clutter?

Fancy a helping hand getting things sorted and cleared out?

I can help you separate the necessary from the unnecessary and sort what goes to charity and what goes to the dechetterie.

Let me know if I can help you 😊
