ANIMAL FARM
10 of us went to see the play at the “Theatre am Kaegfiturm” in Bern and what a revelation. At the beginning, we were rather skeptical. Five men on the stage telling us where they came from – Romania, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Bosnia. A rather strange start and then suddenly you heard farm animal noises. From then […]

CR – CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON
This was a very stylish lunch held in the Palace du Peyrou, Neuchâtel. This classical building, built between 1771 and 1776, by Pierre Alexander du Peyrou (1729-1794), who made his fortune in Surinam, is a fine example of French architecture. In the reception room where drinks and canapés were to be served, a graceful example […]
LUNCH AT THE AUBERGE AU LION D’OR, TANNAY
Thursday 18th November dawned cloudy and chilly, another in a series of cloudy days, but when we met at the Lion d’Or in Tannay the sun had come out and those among us who sat facing the windows were very glad that the curtains could be closed to keep the glare from our eyes – […]
