In the middle of last week I read about a street food festival that was taking place in Olten (about 45 minutes train ride from us) on Saturday, which seemed like perfect timing – usually I find out about these things just after they occur rather than just before. When Jane pointed out that Saturday was also photo an hour day, the timing felt even more perfect. Obviously it was my fate to go! I’m planning a full post about the street food festival for later in the week, but for now here’s Saturday’s photo an hour:
10 a.m. I’m up! As usual, a cup of tea is needed before I do anything else. Trying to switch things up a bit by taking a photo of my cups in the cupboard.
11 a.m. Shower time! Look, it’s the shower in the new flat!
12 noon. Sorting out dry washing. *Yawn*
1 p.m. On the train (actually not 1 p.m. because we were busy buying tickets then and I kind of forgot about the photo. But 1 p.m. ish).
2 p.m. Still on the train. At least the view from the window was nice!
3 p.m. Waiting for some food at the festival! The weather kept switching from bright sunshine to rain literally within seconds – I felt like I was back in Britain! In this photo, it’s about to rain again.
4 p.m. Drinking lemonade from a Turkish stall. Very tasty and actually cheap!
5 p.m. Back on the train. I think we were near Sissach at this point.
6 p.m. Home! Doing a bit of cross stitch.
7 p.m. Erkältungstee time! I’m still not sure how a bunch of herbs can cure a cold, but anything’s worth a try, right?
8 p.m. Taking a break from cross stitching to read.
9 p.m. A late and light dinner since we spent the afternoon stuffing ourselves at the food festival.
10 p.m. (Ahem. Sort of). Rush (the film about Niki Lauda) was on Channel 4 so we decided to watch it. We get Channel 4 in Switzerland (and E4, More 4 and the BBC and ITV channels!).
11 p.m. Still watching Rush.
Midnight. Will this film ever end?!
It actually did end 15 minutes later then I went to bed without taking a photo. I don’t want to ruin my symmetry though, so here’s a bonus photo of the bedroom that I took a while ago to show my grandma our new place. You can see from the noon photo that we have different bedding on now.
The photo an hour roundup post isn’t up yet, but once it is you’ll find the link here.

Hey up, chuck đ Big day there, glad to see that your move went smoothly and that you’re having fun. Channel four on TV? I’m jealous.
It’s a mixed blessing – I’ve been watching so much more TV since we moved!
Ooh, an photo every hour is fun! Rush is a good film,but it’s mainly just an excuse for drooling over Chris Hemsworth đ
Love Photo an hour- and love your bedding!! I think I´m going to do it this week. If I remember of course. đ
You should do it, it’s fun!
When I landed in England it was raining then sunny then raining etc and I realised how much I had missed it! I love the rain here!
When it’s been raining for days, people always tell me I should be used to it being from the UK. I’m like “No, you don’t understand. We don’t get constant rain like this – in England it rains, then it’s sunny, then it’s cloudy, then sunny again, then more rain.”
I love your bedding with the owls on! So cute! The food festival sounds like it was fun too, I never really do anything interesting on photo an hour day!
The bedding was a gift from my boyfriend’s mum đ
I never usually do anything interesting on photo an hour day either.
I love Swiss trains!x
It’s all about the photo symmetry! I had to add an extra photo in too!
Did you enjoy the film? I thought it was fantastic! The bloke acting Niki Lauda was genius! Loving your assortment of cups as well! đ
It was a good film. I read an interview with Niki Lauda where he said the first time he saw the film he though “that’s me up there!”
I had to take a photo of the kettle on-off switch to try and mix up my usual cup of tea photo!
I always think the thing about the weather in the UK is not that it’s always raining, but more that the threat of rain is always there. It could be the sunniest day in the middle of August, but you can’t guarantee that it won’t get to 3pm and start chucking it down!
Louisa’s round up post is up now đ
Thanks, I will add the link to the post.
Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. It’s not always raining in the UK, but it always CAN rain, often multiple times in one day!
