Having a lovely (but naughty) lunch with anno and juragran after visiting a marvellous castle right on Lake Geneva, surrounded by the mountains. Afterwards, I drove anno up a road with 17 hairpin bends to a very high viewpoint.
Great company - a day to remember.

Yesterday while in the front garden, 2 young lads walked past. One was about 11 and the other about 9. They had a dog on a lead and were carrying a football and some golf clubs, looked like they'd been to the park. Further down the road the dog went on the verge and did a poo. My first thought was that they'd just walk on, whilst an older person would probably clear it up. But the older lad took a plastic bag out of his pocket and spent quite a while cleaning up the mess. Now there was no-one around and it would have been so easy to leave it. It cheered me up to think that they were doing it because it was the right thing to do and not because they had to. Just a little thing, but it did make me smile.
your right marelli, tasty and delicious low calorie home made soup, but what is making me smile is the very large fresh cream strawberry scone i,m devouring for afters
!
Morning all, have just uploaded new images 3 - 6 of wee man. On opening emails, these plastered a huge on my face. T's mummy is a textile/ceramics designer. My yen was to go to art school to learn dress design [father said no.] I'm beginning to wonder whether wee man will realise my dream. Sad that I shall never know. 
Greatnan Anno Jura Lovely to hear of your happy day spent together.
Lovely photos, soop!
Such a cutie soop
soopI love the one of wee man in the bucket 
Thanks, Gracesmum. Just been babysitting the boys and every sentence was peppered with 'Mrs Bowman (teacher) says........' They are under her spell. Aren't teachers fabulous?
Seeing Harriet's gummy grin - she's now, unbelievably, 6 weeks old (I've just uploaded a photo of her). Sadly, I am leaving on wednesday for home and the next time I see her and her brothers and sister, she will probably be crawling, if not walking. I am making the most of every minute until I leave 
when and Gally Lovely pics!
when those two look like a whole lot of double trouble and with angelic hair and faces, I bet they get away with murder!
Ha Ha, yes they are a handful but adorable
I'm smiling because I am going out for the day with sister and future sister in law to enjoy a spa day and sedate hen do, before the wedding in a couple of weeks. Nice to have something enjoyable to do at last. See you all tomorrow

Gally Wee Harriet is gorgeous. Will be seeing you soonish and seeing other family photos no doubt.
Gally I think that your wee Harriet is adorable.
Gally I thought that my initial message had disappeared [one moment it was there...and the next, not] hence two almost identical messages.
Gally - lovely picture
Our Harriet (Hattie) came with me to see my Mum today, with her big brother and her Mummy (DD2) and made the visit an enjoyable one for a change. Mum is on her best behaviour when there are other people around.
The home had a 'Last Night of the Proms' with a local band and Pimms, on the lawns. The children marched around, were admired by everyone and we all had a super time. So I have a on my face.
