Autumn in Switzerland #SilentSunday
Almost silent, anyway… As you see, the website is still a work in progress, but I have three lovely autumn photos from Pixabay today. I’ve been to all these places, though not always at this time of year. First up is Tarasp Castle in Lower Engadin, S.E. Switzerland. A different scene below – Geneva and…

The start of summer ’23
It’s been a long time coming, but at long last we’ve had some lovely summery weather here in N.E. Switzerland, and I’ve been out and about. Last week started with a trip to Zürich Zoo, something I haven’t done for at least a decade. It’s a good zoo, with huge enclosures for the animals, but…

This and that… #books #Switzerland
Nearly a week on from publication of Return to the Lakeside Hotel, and life is settling down again in N.E. Switzerland.

Surprise… and a special offer #newbook #travel
What can I say? I didn’t think for a minute that I’d be writing this blog post today, but after my poor Un-Family spent over eight days being approved for publication on Amazon, Saving the Lakeside Hotel whizzed through the process in LESS THAN TWO HOURS. I nearly fell off my chair when the email…

Coming soon in feel-good fiction… #travel #Switzerland
A holiday in Switzerland… that was something I’d never experienced when I arrived at Basle Airport on a cold January afternoon in the 1980s. That day, I was all set to work for a year, see something of Europe, learn a new language – and then go home to Scotland. My year turned into decades,…
