Lily eats Montreux
Lily tried churros, poutine, beaver tail with maple butter, charcuterie, foie gras (with and without truffle sauce) and tartiflette. She approves of all of it, but wishes she could get her own foie gras sandwich, instead of only having the odd bit.
Christmas dinner, done
Leg of lamb, yorkie pud, mashed and roasted spuds, carrots, sweet potatoes and brussels, topped with lamb gravy.
Breakfast of champions
Christmas display
The Schilliger Xmas display was cute but a bit subdued compared to previous years. Given how shite 2020 has been, it’s a bit hard to work up a full heas of seasonal cheery steam. We’ve decided to push back our flight to the UK from December to next July, in the hopes that things will have improved by then and we won’t need to quarantine on both ends. We’ll be here for Swissmas. Pray that we don’t kill each other. Ho ho oy.
Um, so yeah.
We’ve just finished putting away all the biscuits and chocolate that we got over Christmas. These are just the biscuits. The two-dozen or so bars of chocolate have been put in the freezer. It’s a bit mad…
