Description
👨👩👧👦 Hi! We are Jan, Susan, and sometimes our son Rasmus, along with our other children and grandchild (+ many animals)
🏡 We moved to Toftlund in July 2022 to create our dream home in the peaceful countryside, where there's endless of possibilities for projects to start (but not always enough time or hands to finish haha)
🐕 We love animals and have many friendly pets, and they're excited to meet you!
🐱Everyday we walk around the grounds with our 4 dogs and 2 cats, and they all love to accompany us the whole way.
🌳 We'd love to have you here to help us around the countryside and enjoy the birds whistling and the fresh air.
