Saturday was a chilled day with just a short shopping expedition to buy chocolate! I'm sorry but UK Toblerones just aren't the same as the Swiss ones!
On Sunday morning was the Confirmation service. All of the young people involved took some part in the service. Benjamin was partly responsible for the Powerpoint slide presentation, showing highlights from a visit to Salzburg, which was part of their confirmation course. Of course everything was in Swiss German so I understood very little of it! However the young people did sing 'We are the World', so I could understand that!
After the service there was a band playing outside while the group photos were taken.
Back home for a short break and more photos. By this time Benjamin had a touch of 'I'm sixteen-itis' and didn't want photos taken and then ripped off his tie and went off to change his shirt!!
We then went back down to the lakeside to a restaurant for lunch - massive pizzas!! The food fest continued back at home afterwards with Strawberry cake, to celebrate Swiss grandma's 82nd birthday.
Despite an unwilling subject, my sister and I took loads of picture and so I now need to get scrapping. Watch this space!
