In the garden is a small solid fuel barbecue (there is wood at hand). Starting 2008, there will be a brand new 10x5 metre swimming pool. The pool is the latest salt technology so there is hardly any chlorine (BIG NEWS). The pool is black with wood border to discreetly fit in with the natural surroundings.
