  Description

  My wife and I have 4 children and live in a lovely farm in Nordby Bakker, close to the sea, with ponies, dogs, chickens, bees, kayaks, and a wooden sailboat.
  I am gearing down as a veterinary surgeon on the island and want to shine up the property. I love our garden. It is divided into 3 parts: natural swimming pool, permaculture forest garden, and vegetable garden. This year I will focus on the garden and the stable, improve my cooking skills, and enjoy sailing the old Knarr! We have raised ponds in the courtyard, used for teaching fresh water biology. We have a wonderful stereo microscope for the purpose. Those ponds could also do with tidying up, and I am slowly working towards restarting non-profit nature related retreats and events.
  
  This year we are at least 3 people at home, my wife Tamsin, our younger daughter Clementine, 22, who is taking a sabbatical, Theo who is finishing school in a few weeks, and myself. The remaining children live nearby and visit often. I have owned a vet clinic in London as well as on the island.
  
  You will be staying in one of our upstairs bedrooms, and joining in on all meals, and I hope you can spend 15-20 hours/week helping with the garden, and handy tasks related to the non-profit nature centre side of things.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We live in a very beautiful and peaceful wild landscape, and are very interested in all the wildlife around us. If that appeals to you then I am sure you will fit in very well! If you are interested in wildlife, and gardening then I will very happily share knowledge along the way.
  
  Tamsin is from England, but speaks Danish, and I am Danish but grew up in London. We all like riding and sailing. You can see more of the place on our website (please ask us for the link).
  
  You are very welcome to join in sailing and horse riding. I will happily help / teach. Enjoying swimming would be useful trait, as we have both the pond in the garden, and a lovely sandy beach 500m from the house.
