Neue Freunde, neue Familie.

Well now; spending Christmas outside of Blighty for the first time ever in my 21 years of virtue thirty-seven years, is a novelty.

Thus far it's been so good I'm looking to move here ASAP (which is the default Ollie-goes-to-Switzerland setting).

This photograph captures no majestic peaks, no brooding lakes or snow- capped peaks. It does, however capture an idea of the incredible warmth that met me, Mutti und Pappi today from the family Hagmann.

Absolutely loving it already. *

*suspect a beasting will temper this. Actually looking forward to it.
