You have already read these news

You have already read these news ; in fact, you read the same information every June.

This year, you’re going to write them yourself. Draft 2 or 3 sentences containing the following elements :
end of school year (teacher) – no time – class trip – Claire – long days – end of school year (dean) – school party – a lot to be done

Finished ? Very well ! If you understood well the general idea, our visits on your blogs and the publication of our articles are going to be very unpredictable until July 7th !

We offer you this rose to make us forgive our absence ❤

All good things must come to an end

All good things must come to an end, even the holidays…

Today, it’s the resumption of work for Claire. The children will go back school on August 21st, but for the teachers, it’s the moment to put themselves in the school atmosphere again, to prepare copies, to decorate the class, and to refine the welcome activities planned for the first days.

As Claire is also an executive assistant (“dean”), it’s the moment too to prepare the teachers meeting and to settle the last details of the start of the school year with the management team.

All this to tell you that she’s abandoning us all day long ! Good thing Momo is there today, but we’ll better get used to being a few hours alone from time to time again.

What do you mean, « you’re sleeping anyway » ? Absolutely not ! We are bored of every minute’s absence of our humans, but we do it with our eyes shut…

All right, we exaggerate a little, but hardly : we prefer when our humans are at home all the same, even if we’re sleeping.

Good start of the school year to all the children and to all the teachers !

Trip in Switzerland : the Rhine Falls

Look at this :

Impressive, right ? Today, we take you to the Rhine falls, the biggest waterfalls of Europe.

The Rhine falls formed during the last glaciation, about 14’000 to 17’000 years ago. The northern bank with Schlössli Wörth is on the canton of Schaffhausen, the southern bank with the castle of Laufen on the canton of Zurich.

A few figures :

Width : 150 metres
Height : 23 metres
Depth of the basin : 13 metres
Capacity of flow in summer : approx. 600’000 litres per second
Capacity of flow in winter : approx. 250’000 litres per second

Claire and Momo arrived by the South. To reach the river, they went by foot and went through the castle of Laufen, which overhangs the falls.

A way comes down to the panoramic terraces then arrives at a small landing stage.

From there, several boat trips permit to discover closely this magnificent natural show. Here we go !

Did you like it ? As for me, I prefer to keep my paws dry !
