by Gabrielius We have been having yoga lessons already for some time and it feels so good. It feels so good to teach and to feel the forest around and that you are a part of nature. The vibe is just amazing. Now we have a small group of very nice people coming regularly to …
By Gabrielius This busy time of moving and renovation we decided to stop with teaching Yoga and have a break for a while. It was a different time for me. Different from what I was used to. I felt as if I am in completely different role, having a different life of a construction worker, …
By Els Sometime before Easter we unexpectedly decided that we could go and live in our house. It was not planned at all but we were really longing to live on our own again and we realized that the basic needs in our house were finished (heating, running water, possibility to cook…) so we moved …
by Gabrielius So… I finally found some time to do a small review. Moving back to Lithuania (this time not alone but with my wife and babies) was tough. Besides renovating I had to deal with all the documentation, registration, etc. To make things even harder, my wife doesn’t speak Lithuanian and Lithuanians don’t speak …
by Gabrielius We are discovering the ways to isolate the walls. Our house is really old and the walls freeze. We have ice inside the house on the surfaces of the walls. So we learned about this old technology of putting snow around the walls from outside. The temperature under the snow is not that …
by Els Since we bought our house in this beautiful forest with so much space, I am dreaming animals. Because when I think about a cozy place in the forest, I also see dogs, cats, chicken, goats, gooses, peacocks and so on… But where to start. The guy that was living in the house before …
By Els Gabrielius wrote about the trees that were cut. One of the previous owners (his name is Alvydas) did it without telling us, and that was really not nice, to say the least… And he was bringing more problems… When we bought the house we agreed with the previous owners that they would clean …
by Els I just wanted to share this picture with you and a small funny story about how my dad got stuck on the road to our house. The village we live in is called Pakalniškiai and it means ’by the hills’. This name is really fitting because in this part of the forest there …
By Gabrielius This is a very sad story I am going to share with you now. We bought this property with a house that we fell in love. But more than that, we fell in love with the nature and the forest, which was part of the property we bought. This old forest was so …
Here we present a short video of the surroundings of the Wildforest… Enjoy!!!
Here we want to share some moments from the winter.
Starting with renovations When we decided to buy our house in the forest, I was really charmed by all the old things in the house; the wood stove, the old double windows, the ceramic tiles on the chimney… I wanted to keep them because it was so cozy, but I also had to face the …
On my last post I got a lot of comments to please write in English.. Although Dutch is more comfortable for me, I also really like it when people want to read our story, so I will do my best! When we came here in September, we packed all our stuff in the Netherlands, and …
by Els This time the post is in Dutch. Sorry for the people who cannot understand. But I hope google translate will help you out! Gabrielius en ik zijn met onze tweeling Rytas en Vakaris afgelopen zomer naar Litouwen verhuisd. Het is allemaal zo snel gegaan dat ik denk dat niet eens iedereen dit weet …
by Gabrielius: When Els was pregnant with the twins, I proposed to her, in the hospital… Not the most romantic place you would think, but I will explain you. I was actually planning to propose to her on Christmas eve, while unpacking the presents. I bought a nice ring, packed it and put it under …
the first post ever….
