It is a little sad when the Swiss are having their national day on 1st August and it has been raining since yesterday afternoon. The fireworks are damp – will they explode? The fires on the mountain sides will not be burning, just a weak sizzle from the rain, but we have our national flag, and what better to do with it than put it in a Swiss bread baked for the occasion. We can always fry the sausages in a pan if we cannot light the garden grill.
That will not be such a good idea.
RDP Sunday: Poignant
Happy National Day! Rain or not, the celebrations possible commemorate an amazing history of the charters that created Switzerland, the first going back to 1291, a bit more than three quarters of a millenium ago! Wow!
