Day out with Bernhard and Lorraine


Roger and I had a very special day out with lovely friends Bernhard and Lorraine the other Saturday. Bernhard drove us about an hour from Basel, Switzerland. They treated us to a lovely boat ride on Bielesee (Lake Biel) and we ended up on a little island called Erlauch. Above is the boat we travelled to get there.



Just some of the beautiful scenery on the island. Such a cute small Swiss Village.



Ah, those mobile phones. Such a nuisance! I think Roger is
going to give his to Lorraine!




We walked an hour to this rather excluded restaurant and had a very delicious lunch of fish and then yummy dessert - as you can see.





By the time we were ready to go home it had begun to rain and become quite closed in! But we had such a precious time with Bernhard and Lorraine. We have such treasured memories of special times together 'chewing the fat'. They have loved and supported us here over the past 4.5 years and we are going to miss their company and stimulating conversation.



Another chapter is about to begin............

Oh what a perfect day, and what precious friends you have in Bernhard and Lorraine.
The pictures are each like individual postcards, they are so beautiful.
Those desserts look so yummy!
As the pages are about to turn on the next chapter, you are so very loved that your friends will still be there with you.
hugs!

Beautiful scenery and good company. Sounds like a wonderful time and a nice way to end a chapter in life. How does it go another page and then another chapter. FRom one Gospel story to the next.

Loved the pics, what a special day indeed. So sorry I missed them on my last visit... You'll have to compile a "book of friends" so that they'll always be with you wherever you are!! xo
