When Ursula and Ruedi Pfister visited friends in Schaffhausen, they found out that an apartment was becoming available in their neighborhood. "We were living in a large house in Hemberg and wanted to move into an apartment suitable for the elderly," she explains. "We then decided at relatively short notice to move into our retirement home here in Schaffhausen." They both know the region well - she grew up in Schaffhausen's old town, he in Eglisau.

Now that the Pfisters have settled into their new home, they are already full of beans again. "We will be touring the canton of Schaffhausen over the next two weeks," explains Ursula Pfister. "I will be telling fairy tales and stories for children from the age of four." She draws from a large pool of stories, all of which she has in her head - she always tells them freely so that she can also use her facial expressions and gestures. "Ursula has the talent of being able to sense which stories suit which listeners," says Ruedi Pfister. "She then decides spontaneously what to present."
