    Description

    Hi, my name is Ulrike and I have been living in southern Sweden, 8 km from Örkelljunga, in Lärkesholm since December 2021. 3 minutes walk to the beautiful Lärkesholssjön (lake). I originally came here with my son and his family, but unfortunately my son had to return to Germany for professional reasons. Since I'm pretty much on my own now, it would be nice if I could get some help now and then. At the moment I'm painting the house and need some boards replaced as well as some gardening. I just can't keep up. I would be very happy if someone with manual skills could support me for a few days.


    Hi, ich heiße Ulrike und wohne seit Dezember2021 in Südscheden, 8km von Örkelljunga entfernt, in Lärkesholm. 3Minuten fußläufig erreicht man den schönen Lärkesholssjön( See).
    Ursprünglich bin ich mit meinem Sohn und seiner Familie hierher gekommen,leider musste mein Sohn, aus beruflichen Gründen wieder zurück nach Deutschland. Da ich jetzt ziemlich auf mich alleine gestellt bin, wäre es schön, wenn ich ab und zu etwas Hilfe bekommen könnte. Momentan streiche ich gerade das Haus und es müssen auch einige Bretter ausgetauscht werden, zudem gibt es einiges an Gartenarbeit.Ich komme einfach nicht hinterher. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn jemand mit handwerklichem Geschick, mich ein paar Tage unterstützen könnte.

    Skåndleden almost passes my house. If you are on your way, it would be a good idea to stop at my place for a few days. I am also happy to drive you to the bus station if you want to go on trips to the sea or to Helsingborg for a stroll through the city. You can also borrow my e-bike for bike tours.

    Der Skåndleden führt fast an meinem Haus vorbei. Falls du auf dem Weg sein solltest, würde es sich anbieten ein paar Tage bei mir zu stoppen. Ich bin auch gerne bereit dich zum Busbahnhof zu fahren falls du Ausflüge ans Meer machen willst oder nach Helsingborg zum Stadtbummel. Für Radturen kannst du dir auch gerne mein E Bike ausleihen.
