We had our Christmas dinner down at Beanie and Sandro’s last night. A lovely meal of prawns, lamb and chicken.
The girls were beside themselves with excitement. Lots of presents to open.
These horses were very well received.
A really nice evening as ever.
Today was glorious. This is the home run back to Wengen.
The rain and snow have gone, and it’s a sunny day at last. Val went off to work and I headed down to Lauterbrunnen and had a run along the valley. Waterfalls particularly impressive this morning.
I got the train up to Allmend with Ali, Claire and Colin. Val skied down from Scheidegg and we all had lunch. Nice views back to the village.
Merry Christmas!
Yes, it was still raining when we woke up this morning. It eventually turned to snow around midday, and now it’s stopped. Val was working up at Scheidegg, and I did a bit of shopping. Later tonight we’ll be off to the Sunstar for the first ‘Crazy Monday’ of the season.
Did I mention that it rained all day yesterday? Well it rained all day today too. Val was up early for work, and I felt guilty for about 2 seconds before turning over and going back to sleep.
Beves and Ibe were in the village tonight as they have a regular Wednesday evening gig at the Caprice this season and they needed to have a look at the venue. Lovely to see them as always.
It’s that time of year again when the guests begin to arrive in significant numbers, so it must be time for Village Opening in the Dorfstrasse. Businesses set up stalls outside their shops serving glühwein and tasty snacks.
And of course there’s lots of music.
Val really liked the skis she tested last weekend, and ever since then she’s been haggling over the price. After 5 days, negotiations finally reached a conclusion this evening. Philipp is happy with the price and Val has her new skis.
So we’re off to Interlaken for shopping. Every time we go to the Co-op we are given a small furry thing. They’re nice to collect, and if you get a gold one you’re in with a chance of winning a million Supercard points. We’re big fans of Superpoints – you can use them to pay for your shopping. We managed to get 10,000 this summer in one of the promotions, but a million would be lovely.
For the first time that I can ever remember, Wolves are on telly in Rocks tonight for their Premier League game with Liverpool. Might pop along and watch.
Up we go to Männlichen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it so quiet. Val in Tschuggen bowl.
The new lift on the nursery slope opened for the first time today, so naturally we gave it a try. It’s really good as it doubles the size of the nursery area, whilst establishing an easy link back up to Männlichen from the top of Läger.
