  Description

  We are living with my life partner now more than 20 years in Latvia, children are grown up and abroad. I am collector of old books, old cars and a writer, concentrating on Philosophy and an editor and journalist at internetmagazine: lettlandweit.info
  . My life partner likes gardening but could need some help because of big areal, and needlework. House is the oldest in our small town, several times over- and rebuild full of history so no Euroremont is planned at all. We are not addicted to things, to any lifestyle, just trying go through this little time on earth. We have some latvian friends, so traditional hot steam bath is possible.

  Aide

  As a collector of old books I need to make some photoshots from the books inside. There is also some outside work, preparing wood for the winter heating. As well maybe assistance in old cars repairing and producing some home wine.
  Many things had been collected in the last decades, there need to be sorted or thrown away.
  Possibly some repair works on old house. Depends all on the weather, interest and motivation.
