The fine weather continues, so everywhere is very busy. Scheidegg absolutely mobbed.
Here’s Rachel and her group of kids skiing the moguls on Bumps this afternoon.
Been to the Co-op and bought chicken, onions, yoghurt etc so we’ll have a curry later.
Beves and Ibe have a regular Wednesday evening slot at the Caprice this season, so we popped in to see them last night. It was a bit quiet as many people seemed to be having a quiet night in after the excesses of Christmas day, but the music was great.
This morning was cold and clear. Val headed up to her ‘office’. Here it is, early this morning.
Everyone else seemed to go skiing, but it’s perfect weather for a run so I headed down to Lauterbrunnen. The temperature was hovering around zero and the path along the river was dry. In these conditions I can go fast and far, and I count my blessings as I listen to reports of motorway congestion on Radio 2.
The Telegraph ran an article on the prettiest ski resorts in the world a few days back. Guess which village had the number one spot.
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.
