  • Take a walk in Switzerland… #SilentSunday

    Here are a few pics from last week’s walks here on the banks of Lake Constance, in N.E. Switzerland. Next week, it’s Alison Morgan with her choice of Classic Comfort reads – see you then!

  • (Almost) Silent Sunday – A Lake in Switzerland…

    I’m lucky to live on the banks of Lake Constance, the second largest lake in Switzerland.(Photos from Pixabay.) Blue lake… I used to have nightmares about this kind of thing when my boys were at the teenage-pedalo stage… Sunset on the Alpstein range. Next week, it’s the ‘Y’ books!

  • Springtime in Switzerland… #SilentSunday

    We’ve had everything from snow to hot sunshine over the past few weeks. Here’s a selection of photos taken round about where I live, by lovely Lake Constance. Next week, we’re having the third last A-Z post – watch out for the ‘X’ books!

  • #Travel in Switzerland…

    Holidays abroad are going to be very hit or miss this year. Personally, I’m not planning on going anywhere too far from home. This could include going to another country – I can see two others from my flat as I type (though Germany will soon be disappearing behind the woods as the trees green…

  • Coronavirus winter – hope hurts…

    Spring starts two weeks today, so we’re entering the final stages of this coronavirus winter.

  • Snow…

    On Thursday night, it started to snow. And it snowed and snowed and snowed, and by the time we got to Friday morning, it was, well, pretty snowy. We don’t often get this much ‘down’ here in N.E. Switzerland, so here are a few wintry photos for you. I took them all from my windows…

  • (Almost) Silent Sunday…

    Cold January in one corner of N. E. Switzerland. A winter-empty whirlpool fountain, and the remains of a muted New Year celebration. A local hotel, locked down and waiting for customers. Beavers have been at work in the woods near Lake Constance. Reminders of the warmer weather. The latest addition to my bookshelf, the Hobeck…

  • Coronavirus Autumn – “It all looks so normal…”

    At eleven o’clock last Monday I was in our local medical centre, waiting for the lift after my appointment. It arrived and I stepped in, then noticed a tiny elderly lady – she must have been well over eighty, if not ninety – approaching. I stopped the lift doors closing, and called to her. ‘Are…

  • Yarn-bombed in Switzerland – part 2

    A couple of weeks ago I was on Sharon Booth’s lovely blog, with a selection of photos from this summer’s yarn-bomb trail in our town – click HERE to see the post and pics. Since then, I’ve walked round the rest of the trail.   Down at the harbour, we have a set of knitted…

  • (Almost) Silent Sunday…

    The trees by the harbour have been yarn-bombed with positivity:(The words you can see are listed in English at the bottom of the post.) (Cool, in love, heartfelt, happy, magnificent, optimistic, thankful, charming, heavenly, proud, recovered, fantastic, hopeful, pretty, festive, cheerful, special, joyful)Let’s remember the good words!
