This blog started in Sep 2010, to capture stories from my home village Höfen in Southern Germany, where I was going to live again for one year. I’m now living back in London, and I keep thinking about what is rural.
Gregor who lives in Freudeneck* on a farm much closer to the meadows which get regularly flooded, has a small wooden stick on the fields just behind his barn. When flood water starts to reach that stick, he knows that the road between Höfen and Rattelsdorf is fully flooded, and he has to take a different route to work.
* The next village up the valley, transleted the “Corner of Joy”.
