Description
A few years ago Yolande and me bought a beautifull old house in La Forge de Thunimont. Its in the woods,near the river .In the surroundings there are some little charming villages and the ecological project Ecolonie.We are busy building our dream. Inside the house but also outside on our big terrain where we are planning to make some agroforestry. We love eating outside at an open fire and swimming in the lake.

Working together on one of our project we learn from each other . Costja has a lot of skills to teach constructing and building a house. Yolande is a biological farmer who knows a lot of all kinds of agriculture including agro forestry and community supported agriculture.
