It’s been very cold here, and this combined with the fact that both Mark and I have suffered from some sort of virus has meant that we’ve not really wanted to leave the house very much over the last few days.
Mum, Dad, Kathryn and I did venture down to take a look at the lake in Nyon on boxing down and these photos should give you some idea of how cold it was.
And yesterday we went to Gruyere to learn how they make the cheese (which is pretty much the same way as all other hard cheeses if I’m honest). The village itself is very pretty, although we were there a little late so my photos are quite dark (also it was soooo cold I just didn’t want to take my gloves off to take pictures).
Also for those of you that are interested here is a picture of the back of our house.
Brrrh!!
Happy New Year, Lizzy and Mark! x
Did I mention how much I love these photos? Particularly the icicles, such order from randomness, beautiful
hello Lizzy,
well you’ve beaten me to Gruyere – and I’ve only lived here for 20 years!!!! – I suppose it is marginally nearer to you than me – but now I’ve seen your photos I shall drag my husband off there once the weather warms up a bit!Did you try their Doppelrahm (at least thats what the Swiss germans call it)? It is a fine approximation to clotted cream!!
Your icicles by the lakeside are amazing!!
Hope you’re both feeling better!
Helen
