74, Retired Psychotherapist and Carer
84, Retired Consultant
Peter and I have retired after a long mixed career. Peter has worked in the IT and Corporate world. Gerry has also worked in IT but for the last 22 years has practised as a Somatic Psychotherapist and most recently has worked in Aged Care and Palliative Care. But now is the time for adventure and travel, initially in Australia but then to Europe. Gerry and Peter have received their Irish Passports, so we will be able to live in the EU permanently. In the meantime we are open to possibilities in Australia. We left Sydney in May 2019 and headed toward South Australia, up to the Centre and then over to WA, and back to NT in the wet. We then spent 18 months in SA and have been back in WA since November 2022..
Peter and I have both done personal development work where one of the key ethos was to leave a place better off for our having been there. We are both handy and practical and can address most household tasks. Peter grew up in a horse racing stable and is comfortable around horses and other large farm animals. We can also turn our hand to looking after gardens and other bigger plantations, having been involved in an olive plantation. One of our best sits was looking after a wildlife refuge for seven weeks in SA, with 2 dogs, 20 roos and lots of birds. We were delighted to have been invited back for 11 weeks.
Since May 2019 we have done 49 house and farm sits around Australia and we were all set with bookings through until the end of June 2020. Then the cancellations came, but we were very lucky to get a gig on a sheep and wheat farm out in the wheat belt until the end of August. We then had a return sit near Bunbury then down south to enjoy the wildflowers before returning to the farm for another month. Then it was back to Perth before heading to Darwin for three months in the Wet, down to SA for 18 months before coming back to WA.
We are open to all possibilities.
