I spent 2 weeks (2nd half of November) in Bornholm with Annette and Brian. Everything was really good: they always asked me if it was fine regarding work, food... I really enjoyed talking with them and other members of the family. I mainly worked in the garden and also helped them in their professional kitchen.

You were very nice and fun with us. We did a lot of works, but most of it was for sanding bricks and cleaning the stable of the horses. We really… read more
