Dear Friends, the day I wrote this was the 21st of March, the official beginning of spring, and hence also the day I can safely proclaim that the inhabitants of Puyuelo have survived our first winter all together. Numerous were the warnings I had read about the challenges of social isolation in small groups. Winter …
Dear friends, I can hardly believe summer is almost at its end. I know some time has passed since I wrote a news letter. James took over the last one wonderfully, yet honestly that was not the only reason I have been silent for a while. It is said that in relationships three years is …
Hello readers, followers, and aficionadas of Puyuelo’s newsletters, A changing of the guards, today: because your faithful writer of these states of affairs, P. Janssen, is on a leave of absence in Austria or Italy, the burden of writing has been laid on JS, another inhabitant of Puyuelo who prefers to be known by his …
Dear friends, the gap between our News Letters seems to be longer every time. So long, that in some of you the thought might have popped up once or twice: what happened to Puyuelo? Did they manage to bring summer to a good end? Are they still alive? The other day I found an interesting …

Dear friends of Puyuelo, As much as winter is a time to rest and recover, summer is a battlefield; a people-filled, hot and busy blot on the calendar that stretches out roughly from mid-June to the end of September. That means we are somewhere “nearing” the end, on a Sunday island facing what we have …
Dear Friends, After four months of silence, we considered it time to delight your mailbox with some more extraordinary, mind-boggling news from the most interesting Eco Village on the Greenwich Meridian. To you is speaking your epistolary captain Pablo, utterly useless member of the Puyuelo Team, who is once in a while captured and tied …
Dear friends, Let me excuse myself first of all that this is more a News Letter about me than about Puyuelo. I have been alone for almost a month now here, so there is not much else to write about than myself, center and orbit of the Puyuelian universe for a while. In a way, …
