Latest News

01 May 2008 Great news - I've just been granted a higher level work permit by the Swiss authorities, which means we won't need to leave the country in a hurry anytime in the near future. I'm also back working in Geneva again which, despite my usual feelings of itchy feet, actually feels quite luxurious to be home all the time and not living out of a suitcase. Though I did spend a recent weekend traversing Switzerland by car, covering some new territory in each of its neighbouring countries - France, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein and Italy.
