Hi all!

we havent posted for a while, but we follow the blog daily to catch up with all your stories and lovely posts. Oberon just wanted to say thanks to all people who share their stories /nice time/worries/ and wish a merry and peaceful Xstmas to all our friends and very best wishes for a very happy new year in 2015 to all of you !

we are leaving on Saturday night (3 am!!) for a car trip to Europe. We plan to drive from uk to italy over xstmas with a few stops: london-colmar (france)- milan- andermatt (switzerland for few days, just to play with the lot of snow!)- wettingen-zurich-vianden (luxemburg)- and then luxemburg city on 31 dec- back to london on 1th jan. If somebody is/want to be in future  on the same route we may share tips :)

for now, all the best to everybody!

Hi Silvia, sounds like a very nice trip! Colmar has a very nice Christmas market - however Andermatt has no snow yet!! That is the village itself. Further up in the mountains there is enough to go skiing and hopefully for Oberon to play in the snow. If you have time for a dog walk or a coffee when you pass our home town, give us a ring. Will send you the phone number via pm. Here's a link to Andermatt's weather and snow forecast and webcam: http://www.skigebiete-test.de/schneehoehen/andermatt.html Wishing you all the best, C & J

Thanks a lot everybody for all your lovely messages !!!

And thanks Cornelia for the nice invitation. I see there is little snow in the village, but much more a bit further up- we just invested in winter wheels so we are more then ready to drive a bit up and catch that white stuff :)

we plan to visit some people in Milan and some people in Wettingen so this has dictated the itinerary, but let's see how it goes, deviations are always possible and we have your number - so, thanks again!!!  and merry Xstmas to everybody!

Hi Silvia, winter wheels are a good idea and a necessity in the mountains even without snow. You might also have to invest in snow chains - check the weather forecast once more before you leave but when the snow starts, chains might be obligatory up to Andermatt, unless you have a four wheel drive, then they might let you through. They have a patrol checking your winter equipment… Enjoy your trip!

mmmm four wheel drive, what is this? would you mean that our heroical VW beetle that goes up and down from UK to Corsica and now has new winter shoes is not capable to snag up those swiss patrols and take a selfie of herself smiling  in the Uri's snow ? :)

ok ok we will buy winter chains as well :) (actually i am joking, we knew chains are needed in the snow anyway. we  were ,just waiting to buy them depending on the weather, but thanks for the hand raise , in fact is very useful to know that there is this strict rule to have them on board even if winter tires are fitted !) all the best, s.
