We are so lucky to have such great kitchen staff in CDL. They prepare marvellous food for all of us!
Hiking Through the Snow!
We travelled up to St. Cergue today and enjoyed a great hike. We managed to be out for almost 2 hours and found some spectacular views. Liam packed a few snacks for the children also and at the end we stopped for a nice hot chocolate to get warm again.
Fun in The Garden
The children have found the swing, although it’s a bit chilly today the boys wanted to warm up on the swing set and ride their bikes in our lovely garden!
Welcome Back!
The children are back in our lovely house and it is great to see the new faces and the ones that have returned!
It has been too quiet here without them and it is great to hear the cheerful playing and running around once again!
Winter Break Is Here!
Have a special time over the Winter Break and make every moment last. It’s going to be a cold winter so remember to wrap up warm and maybe a cup of hot chocolate might help too! We will miss you all and will be ready to welcome you in the new year!

Fête de l’Escalade and the Famous Marmite
Tonight we celebrated “Escalade” a traditional Geneva festival that celebrates the victory of the Geneva republic against the Savoy’s Army in 1602. Each year we buy a chocolate marmite full of candies. By tradition, the youngest and the eldest person in the room smash it.
