Swiss National Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today is the Swiss National Day. The good part is that it means it\u2019s a Bank Holiday and Dad doesn\u2019t have to go to work. Sadly, we have to start our journey back to England later today so it also means we have to say goodbye. Last night lots of people had fireworks, but I went to see Mama, my sister Valeria and the puppies so it was nice and quiet, except for Mama barking at us. We\u2019re going to see my sister Tosca today, which will be lovely too. There is a parade in the place she lives but I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll get the chance to go to that unfortunately. I\u2019m really sorry that I shan\u2019t still be around tonight as there are beacons lit on a top of the peaks and it would be so lovely to go up my little mountain to see them. I told Dad about them but he said it wouldn\u2019t be the same without us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday\u2019s walk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We didn\u2019t spend all day out for a long walk yesterday. Unfortunately there was some work that Mum had to do and it was urgent. I really think humans miss out on so much by this work thing they do. We did set out to do the circuit around by our house instead, but we came to where they were muck spreading so decided to go the other way. We\u2019d never been in that direction so it was interesting to see if there was anything there we might have been missing. There wasn\u2019t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Journey Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The journey home won\u2019t be quite as bad as normal as we\u2019re having\na couple of stops to see family and friends along the way. That does make it\nall seem so much nicer. If things go to plan we\u2019ll be back here in Switzerland\nin only a few weeks anyway, so it won\u2019t feel too bad I hope. I have to look after\nMum as she always feels really sad to be going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
