Description
We are a busy couple living at the northern coast of Sealand, Denmark. We are aged 50 and 56, and live at the countryside with horses, sheep, dogs and cats. I, myself, Louise works as a vet and my husband, Morten is a building entrepaneur. We are both self-employed and like to keep ourselves busy with different types of practical projects.
We live on a small farm, and own two other houses in seperate places nearby. As our work is timetaking, we always need a helping hand, as our grown-up kids has left for education.
