We had a few hours to spare, so met up with our chums at VMC….

They have a few chambrays…

A few sweats…

And one or two engineer boots..

Then it was off to St Gallen to meet up with the Penguins….Romantic meeting place...

Seul, you need to get your arse down here quick.

It is Olma in St Gallen tomorrow.  Guess what we are going to see….The “OLMA” festival is one of the most popular fairs in the whole of Switzerland. Every year this Swiss agricultural fair show cases a variety of livestock, live “Schwingen” (Swiss wrestling) competitions, country music, arts, crafts, culinary delights and specialities, as well as special events such as an “aqua expo”. OLMA also features “Säulirennen”, or piglet racing for which it is famous!

Paula and Giles it was a great pleasure and a dream came true finally seeing you both in person. Oh man I look funny on the pix haha. Jessy loved it too, thx very much and see you tomorrow

[simonc]

I'd love to do that - Giles I want you to represent England on my behalf.

[tigerpac]

I don't know of a better place to pick up a watch either G

Try not to let all the fun distract you from shopping for some gifts to bring back to us poor suckers left in the UK. The office needs a biscuit top up at the very least.

[Chris]

Probably could use some chocolate, too, right? I think they have that in Switzerland.  Might be worth a look, at least.

I gasped out loud when I saw you in the same picture as Paula with Jessy in on the action. Then that last shot with Jessy in her element, it's the kind of thing that makes me want to develop a photo album of priceless moment. Those 3 photos, all (good) mushy over here :).

Be careful what you wish for, Matty - we had a HUGE bag full of chocolate goodies given to us last night by Los Pingos, at least a trillion irresistible calories heading for the office…
