Description
Hello, we are a family of 4 (our daughter is 6 years old, our son 2) with a dog, chickens, cat and two ponies. We live in the countryside in the middle of Schleswig-Holstein close to Hamburg, in the north of Germany between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
We bought an old house about 4 years ago, which we are gradually renovating. There is always something to do here. There is also always a lot to do in our large garden. New beds are planted, vegetables are grown or an outdoor kitchen is to be built. We have some ideas and need help with renovation work, gardening or stable work for the horses or chickens. You are welcome to contribute creatively.
