Graag ben ik met mijn hond onderweg in de natuur wat me veel voldoening/ontspanning geeft.
Ben verder met mijn hond actief in de hondensport,gehoorzaamheid en detectiespeuren.
Vind het leuk om nieuwe mensen te ontmoeten en hun levensverhaal/visie aan te horen. We leren immers altijd van elkaar en ook van alle nieuwe situaties.

Wil's knowledge as a 'carpenter 'had been very helpful while shopping for some repairing work, where he also did a good work.
His gardening skills are a bit low, I hadn't been very happy … read more
