  Description

  We are a family of 8 - grandparents (Torsten/67 und Manu/66), parents (Hinnak/40 und Luise/37) and the children (Klara/14, Erna/12, Oskar/9, Lore/6) - most time of the year traveling through different countries in Europe ... but sometimes in summer we like to spend time at our home base in Germany - in a big house with a large garden.
  
  Our village is located near Hamburg, not far away from the river Elbe and from the North Sea, surrounded by fields and small forests.
  
  The main project in June 2026 (when only Manu and Torsten will be at home) is
  Renovating some rooms within the house (means rearranging furniture, painting walls, etc.)
  and clean up the garden (Cutting bushes and hedges, caring for shrubs, mowing the lawn, pulling weeds,...)
  
  In July 2026, when the family (Hinnak and Luise and the children) arrives, we also need help with the household and activities with the children (cooking/ baking/ cleaning up/ playing/ educational projects like e.g. learning new languages).
  
  We are looking forward to meet you!

  Help

  In a large family with a large house, there is always something to do....
  
  In the past years, we had help from different lovely guests. Sometimes it was more playing with the children, or building a porch, or cooking, or helping to prepare a party or help in the garden or painting walls ....
