  Description

  We are a retired couple, my husband being greek and me dutch. After a lifetime in Greece, we settled in the northeast of the Netherlands, mostly because our children all live in the north of europe.
  Our village is small, just 650 inhabitants. It is very quiet and has a good social atmosphere. We are so happy to live here. We have a large garden at the back of the house and also one in front. We use a piece of land closeby to grow vegetables.
  We have 7 cats and a dog living with us.
  There are bicycles you can use. The surroundings are rural, cows and sheep and agriculture. Walking and cycling from village to village is very pleasant.
  We also have a piano and a guitar, and we would appreciate some music.
  
  The village Bierum is 30 minutes from the city Groningen. The nearest trainstation is Appingedam. There is a bus between Appingedam and Bierum.
  
  We are not a place where you can stay for a long period of time. Three weeks or at most one month.
