Shameful that these are the first couple of blogs of the year, but we're settling back to life in Zurich after a great Christmas. Bea is fine at school and has completed a whole week of what is only a very short five-week term until the "Sports Holiday"—hurrah!—and for the last couple of days at school they've had a drama teacher in to take the regular morning classes. Ili has been fine too, and while I was concerned she'd find the language change difficult, she instead seems to have gained in confidence with her German. We've had lots of friends over for the children to play, so have kept busy in that department. We've only left the city limits once, up to Uetliberg last weekend (the hill we can see from our apartment), and climbed the observation tower for the first time since we arrived in Zurich. While we could see the mountains, it wasn't such a great day to do the climb—cold, wet, windy—so we will have to return. Bea surprised me in that he was a little afraid of the height.
