    Hello My name is Morten. I am retired from work but still active.I have a wonderful wooden summerhouse built in 1917 just 12 kilometres outside Central Copenhagen on the seaside I live here in the summer with my lovely Jack -a Yorkshire-. You can go by bus to the Copenhagen Airport and from there with the Metro in 12 minutes to the centre. I need help to paint the house and windows. Some garden work and clean up my garage and general maintenance. Unfortunately I have not been able to download photos of my summerhouse.

    Staying with me you will learn to appreciate Danish cooking and Danish way of living in peaceful surroundings. It is quite here at night and there will be plenty of time for reflection and contemplation
