This blog collects notes from Höfen, a small village in Southern
Germany, where Kathrin from public works was living and working for
a year.
10 resh eggs from Erna who still lives on the same farm where I spent silly amounts of time in the cow shed when I was eight or so
Ingrid, who had baked 600 (!) of those dumplings on the occasion of her daughter's wedding next week
The annual village fete stall in Freudeneck
I come from here and I've been here so many times during the
last 20 years that I can't quite tell the difference of arriving in
order to stay for a few months - rather than a few days - yet.
We had "welcoming' gifts - very sweet from Erna and from Ingrid
and her daughter. There was a village fete in the next village
called Freudeneck (that's "corner of joy" in english) with another
version of a pop up village shop, and I had silly amounts of
meet.

Kathrin - that's me - from public works and
myvillages.org is moving
back to her home village of Höfen in Southern Germany for the next
few months. We are moving there with the whole family and will
increase the village population by 2.5% - that's amazing.
From there I'll be working on a number of projects such as
Ourvillages and
Höfer
Waren which I started with myvillages.org in Höfen a few
years ago, and other interlinked projects such as Rhyzom, the International Village Shop.
