Leaving Switzerland on a jet plane.

Hi, it's Swizzy!
I know its been a long time, and I have much updating to do, but it's not my fault, my old valiant computer finally gave up the ghost and I have only just replaced it! After a lovely visit from my mum, dad and sister for a few days at the end of my work placement I flew home on the 22nd December, without being too disrupted by the snow. Basel looked so beautiful in all the snowfall, and I acted as a tour guide for my family, taking them on a trip to Freiburg, in Germany, for the Christmas market, Bern, which I had already visited, but is so pretty it is well worth another visit. I had a great time taking them around the city and to my favourite food haunts, the Bier House was a great hit with all of them!
Being back at home is lovely, but I miss Switzerland and will definitely be heading back, there are still places I'd love to go and see. The weekend before I left I went to Schilthorn with my flatmate and a workmate, it is a mountain, and was absolutely covered with snow, so beautiful, and we went sledging. We all managed to survive the cold, and I really appreciated my ski jacket's insulation.
I know that was a bit of rush through my last few months in Switzerland, but I'm in the process of sorting out my scrapbook and photos and will update this blog, as the memories resurface.
I may have left Switzerland, but Swiss Family Issy will continue, with updates about my life returning to Uni!
All that left of this particular post is to say I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and wish you all a Happy New Year,
Love,

Swizzy x x x
