Yes, yes, I’m fully narcissistic with all these photos of me-n-someone else but COME ON!
What cooler way to navigate the mountains of Switzerland than in a Porsche?
R kid is driving, Michael who lives in Switzerland with wife and kids.
Today we did birthday celebrations (including mine!) with cousins and all. Two of the boy cousins, Max and Cyrus, are 14, the same age as Josh Garcia in books 2 & 3. Watching them play like daredevils in the playground I wondered how they’d fare if plunged into the same kinds of perils and dangers as Josh. And decided that they’d probably do pretty well, no worse than Josh.
At 14 they’re MUCH fitter and stronger than…ooh, let’s say, for example, me. They may still be children but they’d survive jungle dangers far better than I.
I’d be a total wuss. I’ve seen the rainforest thicket into which I sent Josh. You wouldn’t get me more than 5 metres into that without severe panic…

P. S. What cooler way? Hm, perhaps in a Jaguar XK 140? Not that I own one … I’m a biker … *blush* A cyclist, that is …

That’s you in the baseball hat? I would NEVER have recognised you. Seriously. Glad you’re having a lovely time.

Frank – wow thanks! Now I know the German version of ‘Happy Birthday’! Will come in useful in the future when singing it to my Swiss-born nephew and niece…
My brother also cycles around those mountain roads. But judging by the look of him when he returns, it’s anything but ‘cool’.
Sarah – good to know that if I ever need a superhero disguise, a baseball cap will suffice…
