It’s Sunday so it must be time for our weekly virtual trip to beautiful Switzerland. A country which we have not been able to visit in person since 2015 but still means so much to us.
This week I was talking to our son about Switzerland. I asked why he loved it so much. He thought for a while and simply said.
“It’s so big. Everything is bigger than I’ve ever seen before. You feel so small there”
He’s so right. In terms of area it’s not that big. The United Kingdom is six times bigger than Switzerland. But once you get there, it hits you. In Switzerland everything is on such a grand scale. It’s completely breathtaking.












I guess I’ll have to take a virtual trip to ‘see’ the Alhambra, as it looks like I’m never going to get there irl, at this point!

Thanks for getting me to search this!

I wonder if maybe some papier-mâché mountain making might be in order? Wow that is a lot of words starting with M.

Isn’t that part of a woman’s self defence unarmed combat? Oh wait, that’s spelling it as two words and the second starting with a K and ending in two E’s.

For me, that 3rd photo of the goats(?) against the backdrop of those mountains illustrates your son’s words perfectly.

We did. We went close at hand. the things on your doorstep you don’t appreciate. Lundie crags and did the wee hills there too. I have had it bookmarked for about 2 years now. Anyway it was a lovely sunny day, And we were out for horus. Came back dumped the car and went doon to our local at the harbour for a wee swallie. Great day all told
