I am living in Alsace, east of France. I am trying to renew,with ecological means, my 350 years old farm. she is in a nice village, on the road vine, between field and montains full of robin wood castle, easy and free to visit. From there you can visit all the surounding by bus train bicycle, which i have. I am doing the mix mud and straw back on the wall, glowing cork, painting in an artistic way the new walls. The house is big so all the facilicies are there to spend a good time. i am pleased to meet new persons, and to discover new ideas other way of thinking. I need physical help, ideas help too, cooking help, wathever you like better. My organisation is cool, i ask help for what ever you like to do, 4 hours every day. That can be done at once so you have a all day free, or several day free. we'll eat organic. At the end of the day if the weather is ok we will go swimming at the lake. We are a middle age couple, english, french, german, speaking. I have a nice dog (retriver), and two cats.
