We have neighbours up here. Apart from the hunter’s hut, three of the huts next door are rented out by the week to holidaymakers from across Europe. This week two families from southern Germany have come to get in touch with rural mountain idyll. “It’s important that children learn where food comes from,” explains Hedwig. “Too many of them think it comes from the supermarket.” Excellent news that husband Markus feels compelled to get in touch with his Inner Hut Man by chopping a huge basket of kindling for me. So too his niece Sonja is willingly pressed into action carrying my empty milk cans into the hut. Can’t think why there’s so much complaining over illegal workers in the EU. This is all developing beautifully. Time for a coffee.
