On Monday it was Switzerland's national holiday and I was lucky to share the day with ♥'s Swiss side of the family & their friends from Geneva. The day was filled with afternoon sips of white wine, hanging lanterns, eating fondue chinoise, communicating in broken French & of course lots and lots of sparkly fireworks (many of which I was brave enough to light myself)
I made my cheesecake for the occasion which turned out festive with a white chocolate cross...which cracked upon the crowning of the cake (I was worried that would come across shady to all the Swiss) but it ended up to be a success.
My 1st of August outfit- was surprised I was the only one wearing 'Swiss Red'
The only shot I managed to get of my cake- on my lap in the car on the way there
Hanging lanterns in the tree, they looked so pretty at night, but sadly ♥'s phone isn't too good in the darkness
When we get out own place, I need need need lanterns, the are so magical at night
Dancing in the garden with sparklers
You can see the lanterns we hung on the patio in the background
Fondue Chinoise - something I had never tried before I met ♥. Must be a Swiss thing, cooking raw meat in broth
Most memorable moment of the night? When ♥ held my hand whilst we watched the volcano sparkle
On another note, I am really excited for this weekend as we will be driving down to Locarno to go to the 64th Film Festival to see Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford & Olivia Wilde present their new film Cowboys & Aliens in the Piazza Grande open-air cinema. I also can't wait to take advantage of being so close to Italy by having lots of Gelati, Caffè and other yummy specialities whilst on our trip. And until then, arrivederci.
