Hurrah, we've made some new friends

Natalia and Jean-Marc and their two girls, Arwen and Fiona.  I give Fiona a lift back to her nanny every Friday after nursery school and so I invited Natalia and her husband for supper last night.  She's Spanish and he's French and they've just bought a house up the road.  They both work so I won't be able to meet up with her in the week unfortunately.  He works for Cisco, in the building right next to Rolf's so they're going to meet up for lunch.

She is an oil trader in Geneva and a feisty Spaniard but I like her, she's a bit mad and he's delightful.  He had a terrible near-death accident climbing on Mont Blanc last year and it's left him with a very bad back.  They lived in Wimbledon for a year and a half and seem to have travelled a lot and moved around all over the place.  She too thinks the Swiss are difficult to get to know!

Morges Autumn market today so once we've all got up and dressed, we'll wander off to look at wild mushrooms and pumpkins and all things yummy - thank goodness we live in this food region of Switzerland hey!
