Nostalgia

My memory was prodded by needing to think about an overseas trip for my French homework. It made me think of the school trip to Brienz with St. John’s when we were in class seven, around 10 or 11 years old.

A trip across Europe by coach(?) boat and train from west London. Looking back it was a great thing to be doing.

If found the youth hostel on the web. I remember the place well enough to recognise the images. Amazing really.

Brienz – Hostels – Swiss Youth Hostels.


The year before I had gone to Fiesch, also in Switzerland. Again I found what I think to be the sire though I do not remember it so clearly. Though I do remember the pool and the environs.

Post holiday in the sun

The fresh start.

I have decided to re-instigate the blog since being on holiday. I thought it would be a good thing to again keep some record of life’s activities. I addition I though it best to take control and actually pay real money rather than using a site that is ‘free”. As the saying goes; “if your not paying, then you are the product”. I had already changed from Blogger and the world of Google to WordPress.com. Not the whole way with a real domain name and site hosting.

When on holiday I tried to demonstrate that I am not ancient and could still live on the edge(?!) and so had a paragliding trip. Views over Lake Hawea after jumping off a hill. The time in the ir was about 15 minutes and great fun. No fear just the exhilaration of speed, noise and views.

Maybe more in the future.
