I was preparing for a workshop today so came across these images of Wales. We might be lacking in seaside in Switzerland but we do still have beautiful sunsets, lovely hills and mountains and inspiring water!

Visit to the Rheinfall with Mum and Ray. A beautiful place. I love the powerful water and the landscape.

My nephew is having a great time with his cousins, and discovering new things. The boys took great pleasure in introducing him to the Badi today and Harry had a marvellous time scaling - and then jumping off - the climbing wall.

A wonderful visit to St. Gallen today. St Gallus was Irish you know! Couldn't take photos in the gorgeous library but there will pictures of the outside and of other sights of St. Gallen on Flickr soon!

A lovely day in Konstanz in the sunshine, and a visit to the 'beach'. 

Pebbles and paddling made us all very happy, albeit with rather cold toes! Jude had a go at skimming - not very successfully as the stones were the wrong shape!

And it was Verkaufsoffener Sonntag - Sunday shopping - in Konstanz too. Shops aren't usually open in Switzerland or Germany on Sundays so this was quite a treat.

On the way back from school today we noticed that someone had been building towers with stones by the brook. Three perfectly vertical ebeneezers. I find pebbles very attractive and love walking on stoney beaches finding beautifully smooth stones.
