Nous recevons des \u00ab\u00a0b\u00e9n\u00e9voles\u00a0\u00bb depuis maintenant onze ans, Steve et Jacqueline sont nos 95\u00e8 et 96\u00e8 visiteurs dans le cadre de Help X ou Workaway\u00a0: autant dire que nous avons l\u2019habitude de ces aventures chaque fois renouvel\u00e9es\u00a0; de rencontrer de nouvelles personnalit\u00e9s, de nouveaux comportements. Les d\u00e9ceptions sont tr\u00e8s rares, exceptionnelles, mais il nous arrive d\u2019en parler \u00e0 nos visiteurs\u00a0: inutile de faire croire \u00e0 la perfection, au paradis. Ici comme partout il y a des probl\u00e8mes, et quand nous \u00e9voquons les moments d\u00e9sagr\u00e9ables, nos helpers nous racontent souvent \u00e0 leur tour des exp\u00e9riences semblables. Il faut en parler si nous voulons que Help X et Workaway continuent \u00e0 permettre une si grande qualit\u00e9 dans les rencontres.<\/strong>
We have been hosting \u00ab\u00a0volunteers\u00a0\u00bb for eleven years now, Steve and Jacqueline are our 95th and 96th visitors as part of Help X or Workaway: in other words, we are used to these adventures each time renewed; to meet new personalities, new behaviors. Disappointments are very rare, exceptional, but we sometimes tell our visitors about them: no need to make people believe in perfection, in paradise. Here as everywhere there are problems, and when we talk about the unpleasant moments, our helpers often tell us about similar experiences. We have to talk about it if we want Help X and Workaway to continue to allow such high quality in meetings.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Ces rencontres sont tr\u00e8s importantes pour nous, et pas seulement pour toute l\u2019aide qu\u2019elles procurent. Elles nous permettent aussi de voyager sans bouger et de rencontrer de belles personnes.<\/strong>
L\u2019accueil que nous proposons doit permettre \u00e0 chacun de se sentir chez soi, y compris pour ceux qui se sentent perdus, loin des leurs, de leur pays, de leur culture.<\/strong>
Et quand il nous arrive de recevoir, par exemple, cette personne raciste, homophobe et x\u00e9nophobe, je n\u2019en parle pas sur mon blog.<\/strong>
Bien \u00e9videmment, Steve et Jacqueline font partie des gens que nous sommes tr\u00e8s heureux de conna\u00eetre, que nous appr\u00e9cions, et dont le d\u00e9part nous les fait regretter d\u00e9j\u00e0. Mais nous avons l\u2019espoir de les revoir un jour.<\/strong>
These encounters are very important to us, and not just for all the help they provide. They also allow us to travel without moving and to meet beautiful people.<\/span><\/strong>
The welcome we offer must allow everyone to feel at home, including for those who feel lost, far from their loved ones, their country, their culture.<\/span><\/strong>
And when we happen to receive, for example, this racist, homophobic and xenophobic person, I do not talk about her\/him on my blog.<\/span><\/strong>
Of course, Steve and Jacqueline are among the people we are very happy to know, whom we appreciate, and whose departure already makes us miss them. But we hope to see them again one day.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Nous essayons toujours de proposer des travaux qui int\u00e9ressent nos \u00ab\u00a0helpers\u00a0\u00bb, qui leur permettent d\u2019apprendre ou au contraire de mettre en pratique leurs comp\u00e9tences.<\/strong>
Steve a eu peur de b\u00e2cler le travail quand Paul lui a demand\u00e9 de passer de l\u2019huile de lin sur les portes\u00a0: cela n\u2019est pas fait assez souvent et le bois \u00e9tait devenu noir par endroit. C\u2019est Steve qui a souhait\u00e9 nettoyer les portes bien \u00e0 fond, avec l\u2019aide de Jacqueline\u00a0: si nos helpers souhaitent prendre de telles initiatives, nous en sommes tr\u00e8s satisfaits.<\/strong>
We always try to offer work that interests our \u00ab\u00a0helpers\u00a0\u00bb, which allows them to learn or on the contrary to practice their skills.<\/span><\/strong>
Steve was afraid to rush the job when Paul asked him to put linseed oil on the doors: it is not done often enough and the wood had turned black in places. It was Steve who wanted to clean the doors thoroughly, with the help of Jacqueline: if our helpers want to take such initiatives, we are very happy.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Alors quand Paul leur a demand\u00e9 de repeindre la cabane, nous n\u2019avons pas \u00e9t\u00e9 surpris de leur r\u00e9action\u00a0: pas question de peindre sur de la peinture \u00e9caill\u00e9e. Un vieux drap a permis de r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer les d\u00e9bris de la peinture ancienne qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 soigneusement arrach\u00e9e de son support. Quand Jacqueline a pass\u00e9 la deuxi\u00e8me couche, on voyait la diff\u00e9rence de couleur entre la peinture d\u00e9j\u00e0 s\u00e8che et la fra\u00eeche.<\/strong>
So when Paul asked them to repaint the cabin, we weren’t surprised at their reaction: no painting over peeling paint. An old sheet made it possible to recover the debris of the old paint which was carefully torn from its support. When Jacqueline applied the second coat, you could see the difference in color between the already dry paint and the fresh one.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Lolo est revenu de sa randonn\u00e9e en Savoie\u00a0: nous avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 lu le super album qu\u2019il en rapporte, r\u00e9cit de ses aventures. Sa valise-carriole \u00e9tait bien lourde finalement mais il a l\u2019air content de sa balade et de toutes les baignades dans les torrents.<\/strong>
Lolo has returned from his hike in Savoie: we have already read the great album he brings back, the story of his adventures. His suitcase-carriole was very heavy in the end, but he seems happy with his walk and all the swimming in the torrents.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Il y a les travaux r\u00e9p\u00e9titifs, arrosages, d\u00e9sherbages, cueillettes. Le plus souvent tous les jours. Il y a un travail p\u00e9nible consistant \u00e0 charger des remorques de fumier, heureusement \u00e7a ne dure pas trop longtemps. On a demand\u00e9 \u00e0 Lolo et Steve de s\u2019en charger, mais Lolo a eu un probl\u00e8me avec son outil et il a d\u00fb revenir, laissant Steve tout seul charger la remorque. Paul a beaucoup ri en inventant l\u2019histoire du mec au fort accent \u00e9tranger, en train de voler du fumier en remplissant une remorque qui n\u2019est pas attel\u00e9e \u00e0 une voiture : des passants pourraient le regarder faire et le prendre pour un fou.<\/strong>
There are repetitive jobs, watering, weeding, picking. Most often every day. There is a heavy job of loading trailers with manure, luckily it doesn’t take too long. Lolo and Steve were asked to do it, but Lolo had a problem with his tool and he had to come back, leaving Steve to load the trailer all by himself. Paul laughed a lot when he made up the story of the guy with a strong foreign accent, stealing manure while filling up a trailer that was not hitched to a car: passers-by might watch him do it and think he was crazy.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Il y a une saison bien en avance sur le calendrier\u00a0: nous avons une grande quantit\u00e9 de tomates, courgettes, c\u00f4tes de blettes, on a d\u00e9j\u00e0 pr\u00e9par\u00e9 des conserves de courgettes, du coulis de tomates – Paul fou de joie de remettre en marche la super machine \u00e0 s\u00e9parer pulpe et jus des d\u00e9chets. Pour d\u00e9stocker, mais aussi pour le plaisir, j\u2019ai fait une soupe de concombre vite pr\u00eate. Je ne vais pas faire de mon blog un livre de recettes, mais quand m\u00eame, celle-ci est si simple\u00a0: tu broies deux concombres (crus) avec 200 grammes de fromage blanc, menthe, ail, jus de citron, sel et poivre et tu gardes au frais. Bien s\u00fbr, un concombre suffit, pour ceux qui doivent les acheter. Et tu peux modifier l\u2019assaisonnement comme il te plaira.<\/strong>
There is a season well ahead of calendar: we have a large quantity of tomatoes, zucchini, chards, we have already prepared canned zucchini, tomato coulis – Paul overjoyed to restart the super machine to separate pulp and juice from waste. To destock, but also for fun, I made a cucumber soup quickly ready. I’m not going to turn my blog into a cookbook, but still, this one is so simple: you grind two cucumbers (raw) with 200 grams of cottage cheese, mint, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper and you keep cool. Of course, one cucumber is enough, for those who have to buy them. And you can change the seasoning as you like.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Jacqueline a d\u00e9j\u00e0 r\u00e9colt\u00e9 des m\u00fbres (la vari\u00e9t\u00e9 sans \u00e9pine), alors j\u2019en ai fait une mousse\u00a0: pour 550 grammes de coulis, je compte trois \u0153ufs et de la cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche comme on voudra. Je fais un m\u00e9lange moussant avec 100 grammes de sucre et les jaunes d\u2019\u0153uf, j\u2019y ajoute le coulis de m\u00fbre avec un peu de f\u00e9cule de pomme de terre et je fais \u00e9paissir doucement, par ailleurs je pr\u00e9pare de la cr\u00e8me chantilly et je bats les \u0153ufs en neige avant de m\u00e9langer tout \u00e7a.<\/strong>
\u00ab\u00a0Et tu viens de dire que tu ne vas pas faire de ton blog un livre de recettes\u00a0?<\/strong>
– S\u00fbr et certain, disons que c\u2019est une parenth\u00e8se. Au fait, Jacqueline, si ce n\u2019est pas suffisamment pr\u00e9cis tu me le dis, tu me poses des questions\u00a0!\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>
D\u2019ailleurs avec la r\u00e9colte de Jacqueline, j\u2019avais en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 800 grammes de coulis\u00a0! \u00c0 vos fourneaux\u00a0! Et je ne vous donne pas la recette de ma terrine de courgette dont l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat est de consommer un kilo et demi de ce l\u00e9gume providentiel\u00a0!<\/strong>
Jacqueline has already harvested blackberries (the thornless variety), so I made a mousse out of them: for 550 grams of coulis, I count three eggs and sour cream as you like. I make a foaming mixture with 100 grams of sugar and the egg yolks, I add the blackberry coulis to it with a little potato starch and I let it thicken gently, moreover I prepare whipped cream and I beat the eggs stiff before mixing it all together.<\/span><\/strong>
\u00ab\u00a0And you just said you’re not going to make your blog a cookbook?<\/span><\/strong>
– Sure and certain, let’s say it’s a parenthesis. By the way, Jacqueline, if it’s not specific enough you tell me, you ask me questions! \u00bb<\/span><\/strong>
Besides, with Jacqueline’s harvest, I actually had 800 grams of coulis! To your stoves! And I’m not giving you the recipe for my zucchini terrine, the point of which is to consume a kilo and a half of this providential vegetable!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Alors que le mois de juillet se termine \u00e0 peine, nous avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 de nombreuses conserves, sans oublier de la compote de reine-claude, ces fruits-l\u00e0 aussi ayant m\u00fbri tr\u00e8s t\u00f4t.<\/strong>
While the month of July is barely over, we already have many preserves, not to mention the compote of Reine-Claude, these fruits also having ripened very early.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

L\u2019ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re, \u00e0 l\u2019occasion d\u2019un chantier chez Jean-Pierre, nous avons remplac\u00e9 sa vieille cuisini\u00e8re : vieille, mais qui fonctionne encore, nous l\u2019utilisons quand il fait trop chaud, sous le pr\u00e9au.<\/strong>
Last year, on the occasion of a construction site at Jean-Pierre, we replaced his old stove: old, but which still works, we use it when it is too hot, under the courtyard.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Il y a, il y a, il y a ceci et il y a cela. Mais il n\u2019y a pas que le travail. On n\u2019aura pas eu le temps de proposer \u00e0 Jacqueline et Steve toutes les explorations que Paul avait l\u2019intention de faire, mais on est quand m\u00eame all\u00e9s saluer les cygnes sur la viarhona. Pour moi c\u2019\u00e9tait l\u2019occasion de suivre en v\u00e9lo le m\u00e9andre du Saugey et de rentrer de mon c\u00f4t\u00e9 apr\u00e8s les avoir accompagn\u00e9s un moment.<\/strong>
There is, there is, there is this and there is that. But there is not just work. We did not have time to offer Jacqueline and Steve all the explorations that Paul intended to do, but we still went to greet the swans on the viarhona. For me it was an opportunity to follow the meander of the Saugey by bike and come back on my side after having accompanied them for a while.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u00c0 cette occasion j\u2019ai pris les quelques photos qui se prom\u00e8nent sur cette page.<\/strong>

Jacqueline and Steve dreamed of preparing a tajine for us, after all, just before coming here they were taking part in a gastronomic stay in Uz\u00e8s: why not quickly put into practice what they had learned there?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

On a f\u00eat\u00e9 l\u2019anniversaire de Nanath, celui de Lolo le lendemain, et celui de l\u2019installation de sa minuscule cabane, toutes ces festivit\u00e9s regroup\u00e9es en une seule qui a permis \u00e0 Steve de se mettre sur son trente et un.<\/strong>
Encore un moment de convivialit\u00e9 et de franche rigolade.<\/strong>
We celebrated Nanath’s birthday, Lolo’s the next day, and that of the installation of his tiny cabin, all these festivities grouped into one that allowed Steve to put on his thirty-one.<\/span><\/strong>

Que dire de plus\u00a0? Comme tout le monde, on a connu une chaleur \u00e9crasante. Mais nous sommes chanceux, elle n\u2019a pas (trop) dur\u00e9. Les jours, et m\u00eame les ann\u00e9es se ressemblent pourtant. Le jardin r\u00e9clame beaucoup de pr\u00e9sence. Et n\u2019oublions pas ce que Jacqueline a rappel\u00e9\u00a0: le travail du jardin commence dans le jardin, mais il est loin d\u2019\u00eatre termin\u00e9 quand on veut faire des conserves.<\/strong>
Avec Jacqueline et Steve, on a eu la chance de recevoir des gens qui non seulement cherchaient un nouveau contrat Help X, mais qui, en tant que vrais jardiniers, souhaitaient partager leur passion.<\/strong>
What more can be said ? Like everyone else, we experienced overwhelming heat. But we are lucky, it did not last (too) long. The days, and even the years are alike, however. The garden requires a lot of presence. And let’s not forget what Jacqueline said: garden work begins in the garden, but it’s far from over when it comes to canning.<\/span><\/strong>
With Jacqueline and Steve, we were lucky to receive people who were not only looking for a new Help X contract, but who, as real gardeners, wanted to share their passion.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
