    Description

    My Name is Bettina, I am a 55 year old women who lives in the South of Norway. I have 2 teenager daughters, who are during the week in school at another place. They are both coming home sometimes at the weekend. We are an open, little family with the glance of humor. We like our cats in- and outdoor. The garden is a wonderfull spell for the soul. Little bit romantic style where our friends like to dream away.
    I work as a midwife in Arendal in the hospital and in Treungen in the community.

    I am Bettina, 55 years old and living in the South of Norway in Arendal. My 2 daughters stay often at the weekend at home. They are 19 and 21 years old and visiting school away from Arendal. I have a wonderful old house with a big garden ( seven appletrees , greenhouse,veggies and plenty of flowers). The person who wants to give me hand in the garden does not need to be a gardener. I am living quiet on a hill and can offer a nice rom with a view over the town. It ist a sunny area during the daytime. I can talk fluently english, german and norwegian. And my daughters as well. I am able to show you the seeside and the norwegian countryside up in the mountains. If you want to eat vegetarian food, I will be able to offer this as well. I try to use as much as possible vegetables from the garden.
    I am are aware to eat healthy and ecological food as long it is available.
    To my familly belongs 3 cats.
    The country has its own charme with a lot of different spectecular landscapes. I would like to welcome you in my house and looking forward to meet you open minded.

    A warm welcome

    Bettina
