  Description

  We are a peacefull mixt couple (F.french-M.Norwegian) in our early 60s. We love nature, and outdoor activities (cycling, canoeing, hiking). We are also activ swimmers.
  I have a smal part-time jobb, and use the rest of my time growing my own vegetables in the sommer part of the year, and renovating the house, while my husband is working in Oslo as a IT developper.
  The worlkwayers will take part in these activities, none the less when the work is requiring strenght, or several hands.
  Our priority these days is the renovation of the rooms downstairs: new sillings with sound isolation, remove walls and build new ones, paint silling and walls, etc.
  In the garden, beside growing vegetables we have also outdoor projects: build a wooden fence or stone walls, repaint the house, etc. So there is plenty to do.
