We celebrated the Queen’s Birthday on 23 June on the lakeside terrace of the Vio restaurant in Neuchâtel. It was an ideal place, quiet & refreshing on a sultry evening with a friendly waiter who even spoke some English! Meeting old friends & aquaintances with a glass or two of cool wine & tapas was most enjoyable. David Mere proposed the Loyal Toast to the Queen, followed by another to the Swiss President, Doris Leuthardt. I remember when I worked in the fifties for a government organization, we had an official holiday for the Queen’s birthday. Now I am old & decrepit but the Queen is still performing her duties!!
A big thank you to Joy Sandoz for organizing the QBP.
