The removal took place on 14 April and, in addition to our "survival" kit in our two suitcases, there were still the equivalent of two boxes scattered around the house when the truck left. Thankfully, our friendly neighbour managed to ship all this to us after we left. I was exhausted but somehow relieved when we reached our temporary destination in the remote Swiss mountains in the evening of 15 April. We enjoyed a pleasant dinner with my parents and with my second brother and his family. They had prepared the beds for us and kindly carried our belongings to our eagle's nest. We stayed there until 12 July, virtually undisturbed, save for occasional visits from my parents and from DH. As the boys grew in strength and stamina, the 1,650 meter altitude literally weighed on my growing bump. There was so much to observe, discover, explore though, it was overall a very good experience for the boys and me.
