We had a good walk down through the meadows from Allmend, it’s colder at night now so lots more artificial snow. 

Kids having fun on the ice rink. 

Really busy in town, should be a good party later on.

Beautiful day up at Scheidegg, lots of happy skiers and walkers.

Later we headed down to Grindelwald for lunch and shopping.

Fairly mundane day, popped down to Interlaken for a few bits for the flat. Internet now working properly. Went to the Sunstar for a quiet drink. 

Almighty racket from this pair of performers, I expect you could hear it in Lauterbrunnen!

Steve and Colin in the Sunstar last night. Good turnout and great music.

Still dry and sunny. Lauterbrunnen valley looking moody with a patch of sunshine up towards Stechelberg. 

2 deliveries from Amazon today, one from the UK and another from Germany.

We had some rain overnight, but the sun returned this morning and we had another glorious day. Wengen is very busy now and most people want to ski. We’re happy to enjoy the walks above the village – once it snows they’ll be gone until spring. 

Here’s the World Cup slalom course waiting to be prepared. 

And the Downhill course.

The sleigh should really be on skis, but it’s still nice to see.

Meet Oskar, born on 22nd December in Interlaken. He is now our next-door neighbour along with his parents Jana and Andy. 

Up the hill there’s quite a bit more skiing on offer – you can ski down to Innerwengen below the village, and as far as Allmend. The restaurant at Allmend is therefore doing a roaring trade. 

Mounds of artificial snow on the home run.

But it’s still very warm, 10°C in the village at lunchtime.

Traditional Christmas dinner with the Zwickys. Kids having a great time. 

After-dinner walk. 

Aliena likes the trampoline thing in the village. 

Pit-stop in the Waldschluect cafe before we went home.
