Au revoir Georgie

The girls and I dropped Georgie off at Geneva airport this morning (Michael is on weekend nightshift - 6pm-6am - so was sleeping). We have had a fun couple of days...Friday we dropped the girls off at school and garderie and went for a walk along Lake Geneva into Lutry. After showers, we did some jobs around Pully then picked Lily up from school. Went to the farmers market (Fri am) then picked Charlotte up from garderie. We all had lunch at the boulangerie on the main street.

I had some baking to do for Chloe's party (Jen ordered a Star Cake - chocolate - with pink buttercream frosting and pink sprinkles and a dozen Fudge Brownie Cookies), then Michael took the girls to Lily's swimming lesson and Georgie and I jumped on a bus and went into Lausanne. Had a spin around there, including the wonderful Globus food hall, and came home to dinner for the girls. Later, once they were in bed we had cheese and olives, bread oil and dukkah, salad melee and cheese fondue. Dessert was little pastry cases with raspberries, confiture de lait and cream.

Yesterday morning we went to Chloe's 2nd birthday party so Georgie had the chance to see how another family live and play here. Everyone seemed to enjoy the Star Cake and cookies! In the afternooon Georgie and I drove to Gruyeres for a poke around. The weather was glorious and everything looked so beautiful...the mountains and the valley, the lake, the Chateau, the town. The hills were alive with the sound of music! Last night Michael went to work and Georgie had the fun task of packing :(

I hope she and James return while we are still here...especially now knowing how much James will enjoy this place.
