New Year's Eve at Martin's and Benny's

At last Mama, Castor and myself had arrived - the train we were supposed to take had derailled, and we stranded in the Buffet de la Gare in Tavannes! For the celebration of the day I wear my Afghan dress and Papa needs to show these pictures to his collaborators!
From Benny I got a HUGE Teddy Bear (no way he fitted on the photo) and this little book, where there are holes to stick your fingers through! Nonna is explaining it to me.

They also have a beautiful Christmas tree from the Häberli forest! I am inspecting it.

The table decoration was marvelous, and the food delicous: it started with a broccoli soup on Wensleydale cheese that we had lugged from the UK! I however only ate apritiv!

Biggest chair for me at the end of the table! Last time I was offered this seat I still was small enough to lay on it!

And this is the view from my seat - Nonna, Rosella, Martin, Alina, Benny the Chef and Grandpapa! Three more invitees were ill!

At some point I retired to the floor, with my bottle of milk, Swiss shoes but still in the Afghan dress! I love it, thank you Papa! And later when I slept Mama put me into the skisuit and we travelled back home through the deep winter: there was a direct train from Biel to Tavannes, and a little bus for us only, and because Mama asked, he drove almost to rue de l'industrie! Of course for this I had to wake up again, and see the thick snow flakes falling from the sky! And when the next morning Mama and myself woke up at 9am (well, I had woken up once, or twice before already, and Mama had to bring me milk and a fresh nappy...) the sun was shining on our face. So it was a beautiful New Year's Eve and New Year!
