Where I live.
I live in  Switzerland, in the heart of Europe.
In an hour I can drive to France, Germany and Lichtenstein.
In an hour and a quarter I am in Austria and in two hours in Italy.
My home is in a village, in the German speaking part.

I am one, in four and a half thousand living in this village
Small but we have everything that we need
Pubs – Hotels – Tea rooms Doctors – Dentist -Chemist
Many shops where we can buy all that we need
A small clean Industrial centre Providing work for many
Mustn't forget the Railway Station and Police Station

And our 800 year old Castle.

The road through our village was used in Roman times
Here the road from Aventicum branched to Augusta Raurica

Here  (I hope) is a photo taken from my balcony.my village

Yesterday, the last day of November, it started snowing.

I live 500 meters over sea level on the south side of the Jura hills.

It is only a thin coating of snow in my garden so I will have to wait a while

before I can make a snow man-

Ciderman tells  how in his land people can put their house on a truck.

Here we first dig a very big hole and that is the cellar, every house has a cellar

And this is how our house started.
