Had a lovely time at the farm. We had our own little house by the lake with a beautiful view. Kirill is very flexible with the working hours, he and Natalia will also be happy to give you some advices of what you should visit in Latvia What we do regret though is that we would have loved to share more moments with the family, we could have been closer to their lifestyle, working side by side, etc... it would have been a more fulfilling and richer experience ! but we were their first volunteers so it may explain it Thank you both for everything Em & Noriane
