Swiss weekend

Two splendid evenings in late summer sun in Swiss (rain only coming as we came home!)...
Firstly a concert at the newly-refurbished hall at Gasthaus zum Trauben, Weinfelden... great place in which to sing & a delight to have our rooms just upstairs!  As ever, old friends and new were there to greet us... very musical joining in with Lion Sleeps Tonight...

Then the next day on to sing at Michael & Fabienne Brandenburger's party at Greuterhof, Islikon:- a wonderful project (in which Michael is very much involved) turning old farm buildings into a restaurant, hotel & conference centre (the restaurant is already up and running)... we sang in the courtyard and four other rooms and up and down the stairs, as we shepherded the guests musically to & from the various parts of their culinary evening...
Lovely atmosphere, and the weather was well behaved despite all warnings in the negative...

Thanks to our old friend Silvan Isenring for organising all this (Lovely to see Andrea too, of course & delightful to see Michel sit through our whole gig - he's only wee!)

Terrific food all weekend too!
