We have two lovely granddaughters of 21 and 17 years, We do like working in our garden and to cultivate our own vegetables in our garden. We eat every day fresh food which is important for us. We make our own bread, jams and fruits which we save in our cellar. We are real people of the country side. We like to do work as volonteers. Ad was before a teacher in the Dutch languge and he was also tourguide in Italy for several years. Els worked for years in rhe hospital in very different jobs, For years she worked as a mediator for complaints. We both like sports as tennis, walking in the mountains, cycling. We try to keep fit ourselves.
