@BritToSwiss if the traveler gets out of the main city like zurich, the country side / mountains become a masterpiece, the food the scenery, switzerland in a rural setting is the Picasso

Switzerland has the top 6 spots… not much of a surprise.
It doesn’t make it attractive for tourists to visit us. ‚How much‘ Is probably the phrase I hear the most when I’m out with our visitors 😂

@BritToSwiss I have to guard myself against saying 'I like it hot but this is too hot' oops drat, just did didn't I.
English
When we lived in Singapore I banned all house guests from complaining ‘it’s hot’
We all knew it was hot.
No one needs telling.
Reading my feed today has reminded me just how irritating those visitors were 😂😂

Imagine this is your new waterfront apartment on the Italian Riviera 🇮🇹✨
Which one are you choosing?
Building 1 or 2?
English
@KurtinKent Ahh yes that was something my friend struggled with when his mum was diagnosed.
You do need to keep yourselves sane though and it’s physically and mentally exhausting.
If you ever need a chat DM me
English
@BritToSwiss So sorry to hear. We don’t have help yet but will need to get it done. She doesn’t like random people popping in.
English
@KurtinKent Oh I’m sure, I’m sorry. It’s hard to deal with. Do you have help?
My mum had rapid onset dementia due to an infection and it was really tough, we luckily jumped the stage where she realised she was forgetting things and got frustrated.
English
@KurtinKent Ahh…. Irritating but forgivable.
It’s a horrible disease.
English
@BritToSwiss My mum is living with us and I hear it every 30 minutes. She has Alzheimer’s so gets a free pass but it is irritating.
English
@donotcallmemike Of course there are hotels but we lived in a 4 bedroom house in the center of town and hotels are expensive. It was the same when we lived in Hong Kong and had lots of space.
English
@BritToSwiss Are there no hotels in Singapore?? Do you have to host people in your own home?
English
@RelBackpacker @mamboitaliano__ My husband suggested a couple of days in Dubrovnik in July…. After I stopped laughing and explained why I’m not going to cruise ports in the summer we decided to drive through France to Strasburg instead. Croatia can wait till March !
English
@BritToSwiss @mamboitaliano__ Funny thing was, the wonderful war museum was empty, me and two or three others. Yet the high street, with all the shops that are in the UK like M&S, Next and H&M was swarming… 🤷♂️

🚨🌹 Everyone’s losing their minds over the mesmerizing petal shower falling from the Pantheon roof this Pentecost Sunday
But somebody had to show you the actual Armageddon happening outside at the entrance 😂
Overtourism hitting different levels
Rome, Italy 🇮🇹
James Lucas@JamesLucasIT
Today at noon thousands of red rose petals will flutter down through the oculus of the Pantheon in Rome. This spectacular tradition is held each year on the feast of Pentecost.
English
@RelBackpacker @mamboitaliano__ Yup it was the same when we were there. On the small islands it only makes sense to holiday there if you do t stay near the port cities and go late afternoon or for dinner when they all leave.
English
@BritToSwiss @mamboitaliano__ With you 100%. Here’s two views of Valletta, Malta I took in the same
day, before and after the cruise ships docked. So glad I’m a morning person. 🥴
English
@MattBombHead Enjoy the day!!
I’m jealous about the bacon butties..
English
It’s fucking glorious at Costa del BombHead today.
Bacon butties for breakfast, pub doors wide open, the HotTub is set at 35.5°C for a wee cool down if required, and the BBQ will be back on later.
Absolutely no fucking about on a BankHoliday!

@BritToSwiss @simon_jackson I will do, in the meantime you can have a look at some of the recipes on Nigella.com , I got most of mine from there and adapted them to the ingredients I had at hand. Just ignore the “no churn” recipes.
English
Saw this in middle of Lidl. Might buy it.
I’m tired of cooking ice cream!
English
@FreddySky @simon_jackson But no rush. And just a photo of a recipie? I just want to cost up ingredients vs Mövenpick
English
@FreddySky @simon_jackson Can you share a recipie that you e do e that works?
I’ll cost it up and present it as a cost saving activity for hubby’s birthday present!!
I’m so romantic 😂😂
He’s been on the search for the best choc ice cream. He’s tried 8 types. After a spoon he gives the rest away.
English
@FreddySky @simon_jackson Oh that’s interesting. So you’d recommend it?
English
@FreddySky @simon_jackson Do you need to freeze the bowl of this one. ?
English
@simon_jackson I have that machine, it’s ok but I prefer my cuisinart maker that actually churns the mix, funnily enough the cooked custard versions are better than the no cook ones.
English
