Val had an appointment in Bern today. It’s Switzerland’s capital city, and it has some lovely architecture, having been untouched by war through the centuries. A few pictures.

The Christmas markets were in full swing, but it was cold and foggy, so Val was happy to escape to a cafe for coffee and a croissant. I stayed back here in the mountains, and busied myself with recycling and shopping, including a very successful beer run down to Lidl in the valley.
