Description
We are Ray & Hinke we left Holland and we started our dream project in Chzech Republic in april 2021, October of that year Ray had an unexpected aorta rupture and after half a year in hospital (6 weeks coma) ended up in a wheelchair.
Our dream was to rebuild an old carré farm.
Untill know we have come a long way with our dream, but there is still loads of help needed since Ray can't do much alone anymore. Not only building but also help in the garden and maintenance.
Big Jobs will be done by a contractor, whenever we have saved enough money to lett him work again, but for the finishing jobs we should need help.
Mainly sanding, painting, cleaning (contractors make a big mess 😀) maintenance and gardening work.
In our farm we have finished one complete spare room for max two people to stay, with own shower and toilet.
We are used to a light breakfest with coffee, simple lunch with bread, a hot meal in the evening and some coffee breaks during the day.
We can take you with us to Roudnice nad Labem or Litomerice 2-3 times a week for shopping. If the weather permits we enjoy eating in the garden, have an occasional BBQ, and also make a wood fire to grill sausages.
We are situated between Dresden (Germany) and Prague, 2/3 from Dresden 1/3 from Prague (25 mins by car)
There is so much culture in our direct neighbourhood that it is imposible to name all, send us a message and we tell you all about it.
Transportation by bus and train is popular and cheap in Czech Republic, busses go from both towns (farm and holiday home) and are both nearby a trainstation.
Spoken languages around the house are of course Dutch, very good English and good German, some rusty French and a little Czech.
No smoking indoors 🚭 No alcohol abuse, we do love a glass of wine or pivo🍷🍇from time to time.
NO DRUGS OF ANY KIND.🚫
