Hello everyone

My husband and son have recently returned from a trip to New York, husband on business, son on a food-marathon, by all accounts. It's the first time our son's been to America, I think his eyes were on stalks the whole time. It was a nice opportunity to purchase his birthday pressie. He chose a lovely watch ( a little bling), but very nice. He also stocked up his wardrobe of baggy jeans and baggy tops (I'm sure that's not what he calls them)

Anyway, they shared a room together. But it turned out, our son must have felt a little protective over his new possessions; since he spent much of the night sleep-shouting phrases like: "you're not having it"! Leaping out of bed, too! My poor husband didn't get a lot of sleep. So, our son kindly did spend a few hours sleeping in the bath!!

Sounded like he ate like a horse, too. Trouble is, that's all he's done since he's returned! Has his stomach stretched beyond shape, do you think? Anyway; my husband returned with a lovely selection of oil paints for my collection oooh, aaahh! Yes, they're lovely. Let's see if I can find you a photo, so you can ogle, too.

No; sorry, that's a bit beyond my computer expertise at the mo. Shame. It was funny though, because my son also bought his first suit. A gorgeous designer name. It looked fab. on him, too. I have a photo somewhere. You know when you see those programmes where folk meet their identical twin, in a parallel dimension. Well; that's what it was like seeing our teenage son in a suit.  It was one of those 'Oh my God' moments! He keeps getting his suit out, too, and strutting around in it. I don't think even he quite believes how good it looks. So, you can see why he was a little over-protective in his sleep, can't you?

He used to be prone to a little sleep-walking, too. I once found him in his wardrobe. Honestly; it's true. I think he thought it was the toilet. No, he didn't do anything nasty there though.

Anyway, I've become a little side-tracked today. This blog was supposed to be all about my 'winter jaunt' with my amazing new camera. It's your fault. I blame you, for putting me off.  I was going to show some lovely colours of autumn, here in Switzerland for you. Because we had one wonderful sunny day recently. Well, I suppose it's not yet too late.

Autumn Leaves

There, isn't that nice? It's funny in our neighbours gardens, because those 'pommes' (apples) are still hanging on the trees, even though virtually all the leaves have blown away. It all looks a bit surreal.

Not Rose Hips by Laurel moore.

This is my favourite snap. At first I thought they were Rose Hips. But, honestly, I've no idea what they are, let me know campers, if you know? They could be a flower, or maybe a seed pod. Lovely colour of pink though, against the Swiss blue skies, aren't they? Maybe they're even poisonous. No idea. So, must go soon, on another jaunt into the Swiss countryside, with my new camera.
