  Description

  We are Hans and Tina, age 67 and 62. We live in an old farmhouse near a small village in the beautiful North Eastern part of the province of Friesland. Our property is one hectare of garden, orchard, a vegetable garden and grassland.
  As we burn our stove with wood, there is also some cutting and chopping to do.
  We both are busy maintaining and rebuilding the place.
  We speak Dutch, Frisian, English, German and a little French.
