    Description

    A simple little homestead in the heart of Latvia

    There are three of us here — plus a cat, who is obviously in charge. The meadow is our love story, and out here, nature is always right behind you, breathing down your neck.

    Life comes first, chores come second. We live simply, slowly, and happily — permaculture, plants, and plenty of peace. By February, silence is the main event — skis recommended, awe guaranteed.

    Come as you are. The cat will decide if you're a good match.
