Less eventful
Well yesterday was less eventful in lots of ways. Mum woke really early so made us get up and set off before we were really ready. She didn’t even let us have our breakfast early, how mean is that? To be fair she said it was because she wanted to make the most of the cool part of the day. However, as it turned out that could have been any time as it didn’t get nearly so hot as it had been. We did get breakfast at our first stop, but we’d already done 140 miles by then. It took us two more stops after that but we got to Dad about 2pm.
Excited Shadow
Shadow was so pleased to see Dad. The minute we arrived she was quivering with excitement from nose to tail. He was just as pleased but he didn’t quiver. They were inseparable for the rest of the day. I did get a cuddle but it was hard to get a look in with the way they were together. I think Shadow is making up for all the being ill. When we went for a walk she had to sniff absolutely everything and was so happy. I was in trouble for trying to get all the fox poo, but it won’t stop me trying.
Steak for tea
We love arrival day in Switzerland as it’s always steak for tea. We’re allowed to take up to 1kg of meat into the country, so every time before we travel Mum goes to our lovely local butcher and buys 1kg of steak. It’s a special treat when we arrive and we always get a little. There will be a little more today if we’re really lucky. Now we’re excited about going for a good walk today. We need to go and investigate the places we were planning to go to last time if Shadow had not been ill. Today we’re going to walk by the lake. I know Mum is longing to go up the hill, but it’s really busy at a weekend so I think we’re waiting until tomorrow morning for that.
Love
Wilma

Hi Wilma, we are pleased to hear you have arrived safely after your interesting journey. We hope you are having better weather than us. I have been for my morning walk. It was drizzling when we left home but quickly turned to heavy rain and wind. We nearly got blown away. To say we got very wet is an understatement. Mum had to change all her clothes when we got home. I think we will be having a lazy day now which sounds good to me. We look forward to hearing about your holiday and what you and Shadow are up to. Please remember us to Alfie and Ari if you are in touch with them.
Love from us all Dickens XXXXX
Oh Dickens, the weather here is perfect. We’ve just had an extra walk I wasn’t expecting up the mountain with my mama and sister. It was just amazing. I’ll tell you all about it later
Love
Wilma
