Autumn has finally arrived in Northern Europe. Switzerland was grey, windy and rainy all weekend. However, the journey back from Bern to Geneva Airport was beautiful. So many fantastic colours across the sparsly populated, densly forested land. The Train took me through the Bernese Oberland to Geneva via Fribourg and Romont, a string of snow covered mountains, and along the breathtaking expanse of Lake Geneva to Lausanne. I’ll put some of the pictures up as soon as I have time to compress them!
Saturday was superb. I met my soon-to-be 16 year old half brother George for the first time in about 6 years! Last time I saw George, he was small enough for me to give piggy back rides and watch cartoons with! Its very strange meeting this same brother now as practically an adult. George plays the Guitar like he was born with one in his hand. We chatted about loads of stuff from Skiing and drinking to girlfriends and Bands. The most incredible thing is that George is a Swiss national, who speaks not only Swiss German as a first language but also English with an English - almost West Country - accent, plus a little french too! I am very envious that my 15 year old brother is both multi-lingual and a better guitar player than me! Damn it! Well, surely i’ve got to be better at something…I’m…I’m…older!!
I got back last night, tired and worn out from the 8 hour door to door Bern to Brighton trip (hey - its taken me longer to get to my Mum’s in Bath door to door - bloody English transport!), to the French movie Amelie on Film4. What a great film! What a great concept. Amelie is a waitress who spends her time trying to make other people happy by being generally mischievous and planting tricks to make people change their attitude toward things. I want to be like that - mischievous, but in a good way, to help other people! I’ve decided the first thing i’m going to do along this new path is…set Adz up with one of my Male friends…! Mischievous but oh so right!
