After having stayed in Seville for the Christmas holiday 2011 now for once again we left for 10 days to ‘good old Switzerland’ to spend Christmas and New Year in our home country. A wonderful and intense time with familiy and friends where we enjoyed doing a lot of catching up with our Swiss families and friends!In between we also enjoyed some closer familiy excursions on the trails of our wonderful years in Zurich. Well, quite a change – now moving along with three kids 
‘Familiy project – building ‘Frosty, the Snowman’
Christmas market in Zurich main station
Wonderful family excursion to ‘Sterneberg’
Dear friends, we hope that you all had a good and happy kick-off of 2012!
Yours, Nadine & Marc

Dear friends
Just recently by ‘coincidence’ in a park deck in Sevilla Nadine and I discovered a flyer of a ‘Belen viviente’ or translated to English ‘Bethlehem live’ which was celebrated last weekend in Alcalá del Río, close to Sevilla. Well, not knowing a lot what this could mean we went with the family pack and En and Paco to check out this place – well, how astonishing this event – with hundreds of details the whole Christmas story was put live in the old town of this village with aprox. 200 volunteers of the Hermandad de Alcala….wow another breathtaking event putting us in in a perfect Christmas mood for the weekend!
Well, dear friends, another intense but enriching year going to its end – We wish you all a Merry Christmas with familiy and friends, let yourself inspire during these day of the Christmas magic 
Take care, whereever we are. Our thoughts will be especially with friends like Malou, who had to leave Sevilla in a hurry due to a death in her family and our great friends Bex, Pablo and Kids who are settling up newly in UK. Good luck in these days and we think of you.

Dear friends:
We hope that you are not getting to stressed with all the Christmas preparation and events that usually accompany us during this time of year. Of course for us means that heavy movements in the kitchen preparing wonderful treats for Santa Claus day,which we celebrated on the 6th of December in Seville and and a lot of baking of Christmas cookies for this great time of year – and of course listening the Christmas Hits…sorry dear friends I can not avoid putting here the one and only 80s Christmas video, but first, check out the pics!
and finally the one and only Christmas video
By the way: did you know that the original lyrics were: ‘Last Easter’ instead of Last Christmas? It seems to be true but then a clever producer asked to change it linking it to the most important shopping period of year…clever producer 
Friends, take care wherever you are.

Dear friends:
At the beginning of November we went for a long weekend to our 3rd home place, Rocha Brava in the Algarve to meet with our good Swiss friend, Jeannette. It was quite impressing to see how the scenery has changed in late autumn especially looking at the sea with showed its strengths, famous for its autumn storms of the Atlantic Ocean. Well, we had quite good look with the weather, so we enjoyed some great days in this great scenery, but especially also due the great talks and moments that we shared with our Jeannette.
Check out how the sea than impress with its strengths hitting the cliffs of Rocha Brava!
Friends, soon Christmas time coming up! Don’t let yourself get into the Christmas shopping stress, enjoy some good relaxed Christmas moments with preparing sweets and decorating the house or just relaxed Christmas dinners with friends!
Take care, wherever you are right now!
