Irene and George arrive in Schopfheim

TODAY'S THE DAY. Irene and George get here at long last. Irene rang yesterday and they are having an absolute ball. It is a little bit of a shame they don't share our passion for train travel. Maybe they have too much gear. They had to buy new suitcases last Sunday as the wheels fell off theirs! Anyway, Roger and I are very excited and can't wait for their arrival. We thought we might get ourselves to Mulhouse in France just to surprise them. That's where they have to change trains to come to Basel. Roger will make some enquiries at the Bahnhof today and will see how much it costs.

Roger is at the Optometrist's getting new reading glasses. He lost his in LA in May and was hoping they would be posted back, but they haven't arrived and he is lost without them.

Absolutely glorious day today in Schopfheim but it is promising to be wet tomorrow. I got up this morning and went for a short walk and it has set me up for a great day.
