Description
We are Allan 46 years old, self-employed logger. And Helena 48 years visual artist, but works with shamanism and other spiritual things, which you are welcome to participate in, if it is your interest. we enjoy life are both social, but also like time alone. Helena is very good at cooking and of course we can eat together or you can cook your own and eat when you want. We are very easy going and cordial. Together we have 4 big children who come to visit once in a while, they are 24, 22, 19, 17 years old. Chickens and cats live at the place. you can entertain yourself, relax by the fire or take a trip to the beach. Then you can live in a large, cozy thatched house, with the forest as your backyard.
Our plan is to complete our utility garden where we use permaculture as a part of the plan for the garden and we are glad to teach you about permaculture, wild gardenlife, native plants, pruning and forest work. we need to plant more plants, put in flower bulbs. Then there are 2 workshops, one a wooden workshop which needs to be finished, putting up boards, the other workshop needs to be isolated, In our holiday house, grass needs to be cut and weeded. But everything is something we do together.
we live in the forest house but we also have a small apartment in copenhagen and a small tiny house at fyn, you are welcome to use under the stay.

You can get as much nature under your nails as you want, but you can also feel the city life in Copenhagen, or visit another Danish island, Funen, where we have a small holiday home in Nyborg, it is so cozy by the moat, and Nyborg castle, this is a tiny house, but room for 4-5 people
