It was good and fun to be hosted by Andrew! He assigned tasks that suit me and all of us always doing things together including preparing dinner which was awesome. He is easy to talk, smart, fast (I named him the chop-chop man :D), hands on, great leadership, a lot to learn from him. I won't forget the memories that we had created. Thanks for everything, Andrew! x

Andrew and his family weee lovely and it felt like I really was part of their family whilst being there, we sat and had dinner every night together which was also super nice after lots of travelling round! You have your own space and if you need days off as long as the hours are complete Andrew is happy to accommodate this for you!
