Description
We have an old (farm)house in the Haute Marne. Beautifull quiet village. There are a lot of fields and woods. It's an area for people who love nature and walks.
We are a couple Dutch/ English. Stewie is our dog, friendly.
We have 5 horses, a vegetable garden, fields. Im busy to teach the fawl how to behave. He needs some attention even though the old horse who nearly has his pension.
The feelds need to be looked after. Fencing etc. We have a wood stove and get our own wood from the woods. We have a tractor to help get the wood out.
The garden is not big but there is always something to do. We use bio seeds, dont eat meat. We have a compost toilet.
We have grown up children who often come and visit.
In the village there are no shops. The closest shops are in 15 minutes from the village.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We love horses, riding , walks, swim,nature, play games. 20 km from us there is a lake. To reach by bike , but not flat. We speak dutch and English. Also French but not main language. My husband works with wood and trees. He makes sculptures with a chainsaw.
We have quite some people visit us in the summer. In the village hall there are gymnastik lessons and country danse. Not always during the holidays, but fun. Sometimes there are partys in the village hall. We help organise.
