It’s Sunday so it must be time for our weekly virtual trip to beautiful Switzerland. A place we haven’t been able to visit for 5 years now but which still holds a special place in our hearts.
Times are tough. Travel and seeing the world is almost a nonstarter. That actually applied to many even before a pandemic kicked in. It certainly feels that way for our little part of Yorkshire. A little piece of the world that seems to contract just a little bit everyday. But some things still provide hope. Shine a light in the darkness.
To Hawklad and me Switzerland is one of those beacons of hope. A land which is almost too beautiful to seem real. As if you are visiting a land formed in an old art masterpiece. Maybe a perfect fantasy world created in a brilliant mind.
But Switzerland is real. It is that perfect. We endlessly look at old photos of our family trips there. Those memories brighten and expand our world. Sustain us through the dark days. Provide hope.
The thing about having hope is that it keeps you going until the clouds of life start to part. When it does for us there is always Switzerland.
Keep that special place close to your heart.
Gorgeous pictures π

A very much needed Swiss Sunday on Saturday Night this week!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I never get tired of looking at the beautiful mountains and the water. It’s like a vacation and home at the same time. I live in a valley half way between the ocean and the mountains… I love both! I imagine I would would love Switzerland… in the summer of courseπ
Thank you again for sharing your precious memories and beautiful pictures. And for taking me away from chaos and drama every week… just for a little while… it helps keep me going.πππ

Love this… It makes me think ahead. Thatβs what hope is…thinking ahead. Not getting stuck on the grey skies. It’s what comes after that gives us hope. So there you go… some wise words. π I meant your word are wise.
Switzerland looks wonderful. π Thanks for Swiss Sunday, Superdad.

Beautiful, as always, and not just the phonographs (though they ARE stunning) but your words as well. Hope sustains us, absolutely. How dark and dismal life would be without hope; without dreams.
