We had a lovely dinner last night – a leg of lamb with all the trimmings. Asparagus is in season and it was delicious with hollandaise sauce. Colin carves the joint.

Ali made a fantastic pudding with treacle, pears and caramel sauce. Look at Emily’s face!

We couldn’t finish the pudding, so Emily phoned Julie, who lives just down the path. Julie came and collected the leftovers and took them home for her family’s desert.

After a late night, Val was off to work again this morning – in fact so was everyone else except me. Very quiet up at Scheidegg, despite nice weather and a bank holiday.

Just a few kids tobogganing, and a smattering of skiers.

I guess the season’s coming to an end.
