The Lonely Goat

Check out the digs I stayed in at Grindlewald during Agfest!
I fair dinkum felt like a cuckoo in a cuckoo clock and took to yodelling each morning from my top balcony.
This replica Swiss village was a terrific place to stay for our family. While John, the kids and our mates Rod and Leeanne went to Agfest I stayed at home, to be the lonely goat.
I got so much editing done during the day on The Cattleman’s Daughter, that I was well and truly ready from some Schapps in the evening and felt more than slightly ‘cuckoo’.
We’ll be sure to stay there again for Agfest 2010, and next time I’ll be better prepared.
I’m going to wear a pair of lederhosen, one of those busty tops and carrying around massive jugs of beer.

Grindlewald is a great place to escape and not far from town or Agfest – going the back way is always fun! When my husband and I had our first night away from our son, 5 years ago, we stayed there. They had a shortage on rooms and upgraded us to the honeymoon sweet – it was great. Now we live just over the hill and love to go to the restaruant for sunday lunch, where the kids can jump like mad on the Giant pillow!
next year i will be there for sure i have brought soooo much cool stuff from switzerland
