  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Firstly, I love all types of cooking: German specialities, British specialities, Italian as well as Asian. We have a Ukrainian lady and her daughter who stay with us and evenings here are a mixture of languages. I play both piano and violin - having been a professional musician for twenty years and love making music together with friends and guests. Our daughter is nineteen and is half-German and half-Namibian. We would also like to show people around the city of Bonn and the surrounding areas - visiting the outdoor swimming pools and the beer gardens nearby.

  Help

  We have a very large garden - 2500 square meters - and would love some help in deciding what to do with it - and then doing it. We are setting up vegetable plots and have trees to plant… It is not just maintenance, but input and ideas of what to do. We can also teach what we have learnt so far and would like to use the produce which we get. This should then land on everyone's plates...
  If someone is more into working with their hands - we have a number of different projects which could be done - tiling, wall-papering, installing gates, painting - to mention but a few... These are all for non-essential out-buildings.
