Visit from the 70th Erwin Angstmann and Fridolin Stauffer
6th July 2009

Erwin came for a visit from the UK and Fridolin from Bad Ragaz. We met at the Dietikon rail station and had a couple of beers on the balcony of our Swiss Front. After more than 30 years there were many stories to warm up! Finally we walked to a nearby Restaurant for dinner. We enjoyed the food, the wine and the Grapa. In between Erwin had an accident with his wine and made, to the amazement of the crowd, a cloth change in the middle of the Restaurant. An ugly sight but who cares! It was like in olden times. Crazy but Fun!

Excursion to the Säntis
30.05.2009

On the occasion of Florence's visit, we had to show her at least the glorious Swiss mountains. The Säntis (2580 m) is always a good choice for newcomers. She never boarded a cable train before (no such things in Ghana!) She was not very comfortable, specially when going over the pillars. The first steps out to the panorama platform made her feel dizzy and she aborted the climb to the summit! She nevertheless enjoyed it, a sort of! After lunch at the Panorama Restaurant, we descended and drove back via the Ricken Pass and the new Uetlibergtunnel. On the way Swiss Front, we had a drink at Mami's place. A good, day, fine weather but a bit chilly.

Marlis Sauter-Borer's 80th birthday
17.05.2009

The celebration took pace in Biel at the "Residenz Au Lac". It was nice to meet people I never saw for the last 20 - 25 years. Marlis was the wife of my late godfather Hans, the brother of my father. Unfortunately Mami could not attend. The event was well organised and pleasant. The food excellent. Thanks again!
Happy Birthday Marlis!
