When my mom is here in a couple of weeks, this is the project we’re going to work on – getting something built so that we can display our xmas village in a minimal footprint.

Keeping the oldies entertained
This weekend was a busy one. We started out on Friday with a drive up to Le Locle and La-Chaux-De-Fonds, to visit the Musée international d’horlogerie and the underground mills of le Col des Roches. On the way back, we drove through the Col du Marchairuz, in the Jura park.
On Saturday, we drove up to Fribourg. We saw the marionette museum, the Pont de Berne (built 1653) and the Pont de la Poya (built 2014). Ben had a blast pushing the buttons in the Tinguely museum. I discovered that my wife and my in-laws don’t know who Johannes Gutenberg is (but they do know Steve Gutenberg, from Police Academy). The menfolk climbed up 365 (!) steps up to the top of Cathedrale St-Nicholas. We didn’t die.
On Sunday, we went to visit a WWII fort build on the French-Swiss border. This was the smallest goat path that the satnav had managed to send us down so far. Also, more steps!

This is a lesson some people need to learn
This is why we can’t have nice things
The family and the oldies went to have a chasse dinner at Le Motty on Saturday. The food was, as usual, really nice. The downside is that the wine service was a bit one-sided. The wine was quite nice though, and we should probably get a case of it.
