We had already done most of our Christmas shopping in London before flying to Geneva but my wife and I drove her car into town to pick up a few last things. The shops were crowded and we were over-heated in our heavy coats, but we found what we needed for the evening meal and retrieved Christine's car from the car-park under the lake. We drove the five kilometers back to the southern part of town where her family home lies. Close to the house you pass through an industrial zone and then the buildings thin out for a while. You can see across the fields and beyond to France and the Jura mountains. We still had to prepare the tree and do a lot of wrapping but I asked my wife to stop the car so that I could get out and look at the view. It was cold and the light was fading so after a short while I got back into the passenger seat and we continued on back to the house
