Lucky winter weekend

It's been a particularly good weekend. First Tanya and I went to Vevey and saw the cool antique market that is held there. I don't usually go for antiques, because they are too dusty. This being Switzerland these were dust-free, though, and interesting as all get-out. It turns out that every Swiss family owns at least one sled, and so there were some beautiful old wooden sleds for sale, plus all manner of other things - books, coats, typewriters, and an incredible collection of hand tools.

As the winter evening started drawing in we headed to the lake to see the mountains turn colours and disappear into the night.

Well played, Switzerland! Well played, Tanya!

And on our way home we had particularly good luck when it came to pictures on creme containers. It was that kind of lucky weekend.
