    Description

    We live in a village, between Rheinfelden and Brugg, with us in the house are 2 cats 🐾🐾 and 5 guniea pigs.

    We have a garden for vegetables, 🌿🌿 ( gardening from March/April till October/Nov.)
    We like cooking, with fresh vegetables, from the garden, or farms in the region.
    you could experiment with our solar cookers. Most of our bread, we do by our own.
    We produce own yoghurt, with milk from a nearby farm.

    at about 7:00 or 7:30 am we have breakfast together, we do most of the work in the mornings,
    in the afternoons, you do your own tasks, some days we do activities together, like cycling, swimming ...
    ( you bring your swimming trousers or suit with you )
