No one can claim that summer of 2014 was
not wet in Switzerland. If we got extremely lucky last weekend, this week the
weather is again influencing festivities everywhere – and not positively!
Normally today would have seen the
mid-summer fete up in one of the alpine meadows where the cows summer, but it
got cancelled due to the weather. In fact given the temperatures, I am not even
sure that the cows got very high up this year.
About the only things still congregating
are the mushrooms (found a new variety this morning – and the old have more
than flourished), the slugs (ugh – have to really keep my eyes on where I am
walking because in between the moss on the rocks, the rivelets on the paths and
the slugs no foot is safe: even saw cow patties today) and the rain drops.
We are clean, but even I, who as everyone
knows dislikes the heat, am ready for some sun!
