Nice house in Aalten, Netherlands (East)
In 2006, we, Wim (1942) and Judith (1953) moved from Amsterdam to Aalten. We live in a small, old farmhouse. In 2006 the house was totally renovated, so the outside still looks like before and the inside is modern and practical. The farm was built in 1909 outside the village, but nowadays it is surrounded by many houses.-
