It’s Sunday so does anyone fancy a little virtual trip to a wonderful country called Switzerland.
Yes I might be currently over 1000km away in another part of Europe. But my heart is there.
So as my world rapidly shrinks for the next few months, I think it’s time to remember the beauty of The Alps.
The wonderful and friendly people. The brilliant culture.
The clock work precision of daily life. Even its wildlife get in on the act.
The stunning clear blue Lakes.
The history.
The beautiful Swiss villages and towns.
The always colourful alpine meadows.
The crisp mountain air.
The fun
And above all the peace.
Lovely. Thanks for sharing virtual emotion.

Yes it’s not an easy day. In many respects the current issues have helped. Cut the visits to the shops so few chances to walk past the cards and flowers.

A few years ago our city was evacuated due to wildfires. During the evacuation we visited Banff National Park. It was so humbling to stand before the Rockies and contemplate the glories of creation. Your photos are similar in that they evoke those sentiments and feelings.

We’re fine, Gary. Thanks for asking. We’ve nothing to complain about. Some have it so hard. I’m trying to write to give hope to others, but there’s always the guilt that I should just shut up because I’m so happy to be home, happy to be away from my workplace hells and my salary is still intact. This isn’t so for so many people.
So what right do I have to try and calm people?
But I still do it, albeit treading as carefully as a clumsy elephant can, on the off chance that it’ll help some poor soul.
