Ever since my long ago winter trip to Switzerland, I've wanted to return in the summer. I've been reading and following the Modern Journey of Writer Diccon Bewes as he follows Miss Jemima's trip from Jun26 - Jul 15 1863.

With no travel plans this year, it's delightful to take a Slow Train to Switzerland. 📖 🚞 🇨🇭

Primrose always remind me of trip to Switzerland. Outside it was cold and snowy. Inside these cheerful blooms were on every table.
On reading Introduction I've learned that it's retracing Thomas Cooks First Tour of Switzerland that took place from June 26th - July 15th 1863. I've wanted to return in the summer. Marking my calendar to start this on on June 26, 2021. With no travel plans, it will be a delight to read along. #swissreads
