Raining as we left this morning. Last night we got a very brief peek at the mountains before the snow set in.

Not so good actually, if you want to go skiing. This is always one of the busiest days of the season, but we had rather hoped the poor weather (did I mention it’s snowing again?) would keep the worst of the crowds away. Not a bit of it. Kleine Scheidegg is like Heathrow Terminal 5 on a Monday morning.

Anyhow, we have a bit of a ski, then return to the village. Despite the unseasonal weather, the Blumenboutique (florist) has a wide range of bedding plants outside, and they’re doing a good trade too.

Anyhow, back home to clean the apartment, pack, then Sina’s for dinner tonight.

Ibex down near the village today.

Snowboarders having a sit-down on Mannlichen. They do this a lot.

At last we get a nice day. Sally has decided to have a ski, so here’s the Harrison family at Mannlichen.

Val, Julie and I headed over to Grindelwald. Nice lunch stop at the Rancher bar.

Lovely weather to sit in the sunshine.

Julie’s lunch. Cheese.

Nothing much doing in Wengen today. More snow and heavy fog.

Lots of hardware outside Rocks bar. Most of it stayed there all day.

Talking of Rocks, we had a quiz last night. We came a creditable 3rd. The joker round involved the production of a top hat from a piece of tin foil.

This morning it’s snowing and very foggy. Nothing much to see outside our house.

Off we go for shopping in Grindelwald. Here’s Val and Sally with a local attraction.

It’s our anniversary today. 21 years ago we were in this building getting married. Needless to say it isn’t a registry office anymore, having been converted into (you guessed it) holiday apartments.

Up the mountain the weather is very strange. At the top it’s cold, windy and snowing. Lower down there’s a cloud covering the village. Here we are at our lunch stop just at the top of the cloud.

Chateaubriand at the Berghaus for dinner, yum yum.
