We're set - Chateau d'Oex it is!

We're all sorted for our trip away...and it's come about in such a nice way.

MK took Lily up to the Deer Park this afternoon and also there were Yasmine and Stephanie. They got chatting about our plans to go away this week as MK had some travel info with him. Well, they were bagging some of our Swiss ideas (we'd considered the possibility of youth hostels and they didn't think much of the areas we were looking at). MK mentioned some other areas we were thinking of, then Stephanie mentioned their family's chalet in Chateau d'Oex (near Gstaad) that is always empty and then she offered it to MK.

I took Charlotte up to the Deer Park later, to meet up with them, and Stephanie told me about her offer. The chalet is always empty, we're welcome to use it and when I asked how much she said 'a cake!'.

MK and I are thrilled...it's in the mountains, it's a generous offer and it's in an area we'd like to go to. Plus it's not too far - maybe an hour and a half. So not too much for the car to handle (hopefully).

Woohoooo! We'll probably leave Wednesday and come back Saturday or Sunday. Stephanie will give me the keys and all the instructions tomorrow.
