    Description

    Hello!
    We are a residential community, my sister, my business partner, the mother of my partner and I. My partner has a shop with furniture and boats. We live in a small town near the North Sea in Ostfriesland. You must be comfortable around older people, since our team isn't the youngest anymore.

    We've got an old farmhouse which is combined with the furniture and boat shop. Our garden is quite large with a small pond, a couple of trees and other plants.

    In the morning at 9 o'clock we have breakfast. In the late afternoon or in the evening we have together dinner. You can join us for the meals just like everyone else from the family
    In the meantime if you are hungry you are welcome to have a small snack.

    In the afternoon we can do something together, learn German, go shopping, visit something or you can do your own things as you like. In the evening we like to sit on our terrace, drink beer and grill.
    Our shop is open from Tuesday til Saturday. At the weekend, you are welcome to join us too. We go often fishing with our boat, it will be a good opportunity to learn German. If we have a business trip you can come with us. We often go to the Netherlands.

    If you are interested, feel free to contact us and ask questions. We would be delighted if you could help us out for some time.
