Description
We are an open-minded family of four (37,37,6,3), living a more or less self-suficient life in a very old house with a nice garden in a small and quiet village 25km from Göttingen.
We moved here in 2021 and enjoy this place day by day.
In our free time we like to travel and do some microadventures.
We life without a car. We do not need one.
Instead we do all our daily rides with our e-bikes and public transportation :)
We have a big garden where we planted more than 20 trees when we moved here.
Also we created many big gardenbeds, planted fruit bushes, digged terrasses...
The house is mainly made from wood and clay and is round about 300 years old.
Its possible to live a good life in that house like it is but we want to change this and that and repair what needs a bit love.
