In the Town Square

In Gruyere 

Some of the family were showing visiting parents from the States some of Switzerland. 

A very scenic place is the tiny walled town of Gruyere, with it castle and church and historic shops. And the best double cream anywhere. 

Some riders found it worth going to, too. 

This is your kitchen cook area when you get your castle. On the right is the bread baking oven.

Nosegay

From my Better Half

A bit ago, it was a big bouquet of long stemmed roses. This one from our garden. And it smells glorious. It’s on my drawing table.

A sort-of-copy for practice. Very loose.
