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.
Rosa has been ringing the village chapel bells for the last 59 years – first of course with other members of her family, but now it’s just her. At 7 am, 12 noon and 6 pm – each time the lenght of a certain prayer. And she rings the bells when someone in the village has died. They’re planning to install an electric bell for the 60th anniversary of the chapel this year.
