Yesterday the weekly Saturday market in Gex offered fresh white asparagus from Provence, as well as strawberries. Delicious!
Unfortunately the exceptionally warm weather is going to return to what is apparently more normal at this time of the year – +3-4 degrees at night and +14-15 during daytime. Not that we can really complain about that either. Still some snow left high up on the peaks of Jura, and Mont Blanc on the other side is still as snow-covered and majestic as ever.
Work has been quite demanding the last two weeks, with trips to London & Istanbul. Good meetings and seminars, but quite exhausting. Especially coming home from Istanbul took ages – the plane was two hours late and we all looked forward to either spending the night in Zurich or taking the train to Geneva. Fortunately Swiss waited! that was great. It´s been good to spend a quiet weekend at home with just some gardening and walks with Africa. And a visit to the local market from which we came home with more wine!
