..with some of their extended family. A few drinks in Rocks last night to get us started.
The new faces are Jess and Sally. We had a good days skiing today and here we are at the little bar outside the Brunner just above town.
Great party for Angela’s birthday last night. Here she is grabbing a selfie with the band.
We’re right in the middle of the European school holidays. The Junfraubahn need to use every bit of rolling stock they have to meet the demand. Today we get a ride on one of the oldest trains. Not been on one of these for years.
Raining when I woke up, but it quickly turned to snow. By the time Val came home from work it was very heavy.
I’ve cleaned the flat from top to bottom. Val’s just off downstairs to Angela’s for a girly half-hour, then we’ll all be off to Rocks for Angela’s birthday party. Uptown Lights are playing tonight so it should be excellent.
Val had the afternoon off so we popped over to Grindelwald. Grabbed a beer and headed for the Indian restaurant.
We had a good meal – chicken pakoras followed by lamb biryani and chicken madras. Did a couple more bars on the way back to the station and ran into some of Val’s ski school buddies. Good night out.
Every year in February the Tourist Office organise a big curling tournament. It’s called the Dolly Cup. Anyone can enter – you need a team of four. Val’s ski school colleagues have entered a team, here they are playing the Rocks Bar team which is Angela, Colin, Terry and Julie. Result: 12-4 to Altitude Ski School. After the game it’s traditional for the winners to take their opponents for a drink.
Very busy on the Lauberhorn today, but beautiful weather.
Here’s Val bringing her kids back to Scheidegg at the end of their lesson.
It’s a stunning day, and I have no jobs to do so up the hill I go.
Ran into Val at Scheidegg. Lunch break for the workers. She has worked her magic with her morning group and they’ve left the nursery slope and have been cruising around Arven.
Pretty soon the afternoon classes arrive so it’s back to work for Val and more skiing for me.
Val was working all day today, and I went down to Wilderswil to buy a new microwave to replace the old battered one that we scrounged before Christmas. The sun was shining when I left Wengen but down in the valley it was foggy and cold. Freezing waiting for the bus.
We were second in the quiz last night, so improving. Duo Centrale will be playing at the Sunstar later so we’ll be off out to see them.
