More wisteria




















I'm too tired even to blog today! Had a busy day running around yesterday. In the afternoon Mark and I met the couple selling the house to sign the final papers so now there is no turning back! Buying a house in Geneva seems to be a much more personal affair than in the UK where, once you've seen the house, the estate agents and banks take care of everything. Here every personal detail is listed on the papers including my mother's maiden name! We know details of the sellers too and when we visit in a couple of weeks, we will see them packing up and leaving what is to become our new home.

That's not our new front door above! It's one of the photos I took in Sierne. I'll be posting the rest when I have the energy! Just inside this old door you can see some household junk that has been dumped there. It made me smile to see an old computer monitor - that was unexpected!

With all your great reports from Geneva, Kuwait, etc., you would make a great travel reporter as well as photographer! Something to consider? I really enjoy reading about life in a different country, having traveled quite a bit myself, but perhaps not to such exotic places as some of yours. I look forward to the next installment in the Geneva series!
