Swiss trip

We have had eight nights ('I like you stay eight nights, Grandma') in Switzerland visiting Ben and family. The day we arrived, the children were given two kittens. We felt like we became the Cats Protection League overnight! Youngest granddaughter found that when squeezed her kitty gave a surprising squeal, just like a dolly!
We looked after them (the girls, not the cats) on several occasions, sometimes in a lakeside play area without any other children, and also once at an enormous play barn with loads.
We were also treated by our three children to anniversary celebrations of our 40th. One was to see Silo8, an amazing outdoor spectacle, rather like a pantomime for adults, but that understates it. It was a comedy with pathos, an engineering feat with floating carousels and airborne boats, music and fire. Quite amazing. And we also had a meal for two one evening in a swish hotel with champagne on the house.

Now we are back home, and enjoying the company of Miss P who is currently signed off work.
