A cold, tea, coffee, delicacies, and a beautiful landscape


I get a full-blown cold only about every ten years or so. Well, it must be that year. Anyway, I try not to complain because at least I cough and sneeze while admiring a beautiful fall landscape here in my first/second home in Switzerland.

I allowed myself a writing hiatus, now that my WIP, the second book in The Wine Lover’s Daughter series, is with my loyal beta readers. Here is a preliminary cover of Finding Angelo:

I went for walks in the neighborhood and here are a few photos.

A visit to my niece’s and her husband’s Vegan Restaurant and tea and coffee house Limalimón, in Bremgarten/AG. Excellent tea and coffee and yummy food, and, of course, great service by Claudia and Alberto and their team!

A wonderful selection of teas and cute gifts.

All the food and drinks prepared and served by enthusiastic and friendly people.

Alberto and Claudia, the owners, work together with the team.

Cook Brigitte prepares yummy delicacies.

Have you ever seen a ceiling lamp made of wine glasses? Here it is!

    I love the cover of your next book!! Fall in Switzerland looks so lovely and if I ever get there, I´ll be sure to stop in at your Niece´s Vegan Restaurant. I hope you are over your cold soon.

    Thank you, Darlene! It's a really excellent and fun restaurant and gift shop. One of these days I may even make it to Spain again–or to Canada. I visited Vancouver and Victoria a while ago and would love to visit the Quebec area as well!
