Here we are in May, and we had several lovely summery days in N.E. Switzerland last week before the weather broke and brought us some much needed rain.
Last week, I visited a microbrewery in St Gallen with the Anglo-Swiss Club. No one has ever called me a massive beer drinker, but it was fascinating to hear about the beer-making process and to see the cellar where it all happens. We were given four different beers to sample – I was amazed at the difference in taste. The first one smelled like lemons and mangos, though that’s not how it tasted. My favourite was the darkest one. Big thanks to Marco and Gianluca at Hermann Bier for a great evening, and to Rimini Piadinaria across the road who supplied the food. I had pesto focaccia and it was fabby-doo…
The “snowstorm”? The illusion was caused by seeds flying off trees on the lake bank – I think it’s poplar and also willow trees that do this. We get it to some extent every year, but I’ve never seen as much as we had last week. It really did look like snow on the ground…
That’s it for this time!
