  • Description

    Description

    We live in Sweden in south of Dalarna. 15 miles from Stockholm.
    Our family is me Madeleine and my husband Johan. We have 3 children in the age of 3-8 years old.
    We live on the country side in a small farm.
    A lovely place to live and fantastic surroundings.
    We both have other works and the lack of time with taking care of the farm buildings is sad to see. They need more love and fixing.

    Sometimes help out to make dinner or play with the children.
