  Description

  Hello, everyone who is open to the world!
  My name is Renata, and honestly, I’m not quite sure what to say about myself. Perhaps the best way to get to know me is to come and discover who I am for yourself. Everyone sees the world differently, and I believe that getting to know someone is an adventure in its own right.
  
  I live in a big, lively, and slightly crazy family where everyone is different, full of energy, and has their own way of looking at life.
  
  Let me introduce you to my family and the place we call home.
  
  My mum, Zosia, is 79 years old. She is a lovely, kind-hearted woman who takes a genuine interest in what other people do. She also has a green thumb and grows many of her own vegetables, including tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, and plenty of other delicious things. Sometimes, she brings home fresh fruit and vegetables from her friends, too. She has friends who enjoy working alongside her in our glass greenhouses, sharing their time, knowledge, and love of gardening.
  
  Our greenhouses have a long history. They were established by my grandad, and over the years, they have become an important part of our family heritage. Times have changed, and of the five greenhouses that once stood on our land, only two remain. One of them needs renovation, and we are hoping to raise the necessary funds through a crowdfunding platform to bring it back to life.
  
  Our land has many different corners to discover. There is a spacious garden in front of the house, as well as a new permaculture area where you can explore biodiversity and discover the richness of the natural world. We also have some goats and plenty of gardening machinery, all under the watchful eye of my brother, Arkadiusz.
  
  Arkadiusz is a true jack-of-all-trades, a practical man who can fix just about anything. He is a wonderful mechanic and a real master of household tasks. If you approach him with kindness and curiosity, he will gladly share his knowledge, skills, experience, and whatever he can teach you. There is always something to learn from him!
  
  And one more thing: I hope you like Pink Floyd! My son is a wonderful guitar player. He plays so naturally and effortlessly that the guitar seems like an extension of his own hand. He also loves sharing musical jam sessions with new people, so you might find yourself enjoying some great music and unexpected musical moments together.
  
  Our home is a place full of stories, contrasts, shared experiences, hard work, music, nature, and unexpected encounters. We may be a little unconventional, but that is part of our charm.
  
  If you are curious about people, open to new experiences, and willing to discover a different way of life, you might find something special here.
  
  Come with an open mind and an open heart. The rest you can discover for yourself!
