TipTopSwiss 150:366

London is getting ready for a weekend of celebrations for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee - here's Regents Street with flags across the street. Oxford Street is the same. It's red white and blue crazy! Made me feel quite patriotic. But then again, I love to see the Swiss flags, and the cantonal flags flying in Winterthur. I like people to be proud of the places they come from, and the places they live. This is my home for the foreseeable future and I'm proud to be here.

I'm in London for the next three days and I arrived in my hotel room to discover a lovely reminder of Switzerland - a Nespresso machine. Sadly I couldn't sample it as it was 22.30 and I can't cope with caffeine in any quantity after 5pm if I want to sleep. Needless to say a) John was very jealous and b) I will try it out tomorrow!

Lisibo's 2012 challenge

This blog is my 2012 challenge - post a photograph of the something Swiss, and share a word or two in one of the languages of Switzerland every day for a year.

This follows on from Window on my world 365 my 2011 challenge to photograph the view of / from a window each day, and Trees365 my 2010 challenge to post a photograph of a tree.

And if you want to follow my family's first steps as we settle in Switzerland, you might like to see SwissMiss-Adventures.
