  Descripción

  +++ I'm taking a break from hosting over the winter months, check back with me in the spring +++
  
  My name is Helge, I’m a retired farmer of 70+ and I live on a small farm with my sheep. I'm a friendly guy and like to make new friends of all ages. Because I am retired, the farm and the sheep are only kept as pets. They love when I feed them crackers and scratch them behind the ears. I have lived on a farm with animals my whole life and cannot imagine a life without their company.
  
  I'm active for my age, but since I’m older my energy is not the same as it used to be and sometimes I need help with chores around the farm. It includes things like pasture maintenances, setting up new sheep fences, house or barn maintenance, smaller building projects, general cleanup, some gardening and generally mending and tending to the farm. I live in an area with lush, beautiful forests and lots of hiking and biking opportunities. My place is peaceful and located in the forest with wild life outside my door.
  
  My children help me with technology so don’t be surprised if one of them will be your first point of contact.
