We are a family that lives on the country side, between 2 villages. Approx 40 min south from Stockholm. Fredrik, owner of land and house, taking care of the forest and also help other land owner to take care of their forest. I, Christina, work part time with horses as trainer and international judge. Together have we 6 children but they all grown up but come and visit during weekends.
We have a quite big house and garden. We are very close to our own small lake there we swim and fish. We also have a boat in Mälaren, a big lake. On the estate is it also a boarding stable for horses and we also renting out houses. It´s not rowdy here but its people close around.
Both Fredrik and I are very active and social people and like to have family and friends around us. We like to have people for BBQ and dinners.
The area we live in is very historical and have lots of interesting things to see.
