What we need help with: Our project this year is to renovate our garden, front and back, so we would love help with that. We also have an allotment locally (about 10 mins walk) that we're at most days harvesting veg or wild flowers. One of the projects for the garden is to take down our old greenhouse and put up a new one, and we'd love some extra hands to help us with that.

Such a sweet stay with Emma and Aaron. We spent most of the time on their garden renovation, lots of weeding and some replanting, satisfying work in a really pretty spot. They BBQ most evenings in the summer and it did not disappoint, that and a couple of rounds of a board game I'd never played before and was terrible at. Southwold was an easy trip from theirs and exactly the kind of sleepy seaside town I'd hoped to find. Halesworth's cafes are lovely too. Felt completely at home with them by the end of the week.
