We made a list of shopping for the UK. Then we packed, including some Swiss wine and cheese. We had lunch at home and shut down the computers, before catching the 15.05 bus to Thalwil station where we caught the fast train to the airport. The weather was sunny but cold.
At the airport, after checking in our two bags, we went through the usual security and passport checks before having a drink in the Montreux Jazz Bar - a cool glass of Sancerre for me. Our Swiss flight left on time at 17.15 and arrived slightly early in Birmingham at 18.10 - the UK is an hour behind Switzerland.
We set off and headed to Malvern via the M42 and M5, arriving at Paul and Tam's a bit earlier than our 8pm prediction. They made us very welcome. Tam had made a lovely quiche for tea, with salad and a glass of red wine. Our room is up two flights of stairs.
