The Rapperswil Christmas market is on this weekend (Friday, Saturday & Sunday until late into the evening. I'll be there with my cheese and to enjoy at the time, Whisky rarebits, Hot Toddies and mince pies.

On the Saturday I will be deserting the stall early to head over to the Rappi Bier Factory for a session and hope some cheese shooters will be able to join me. Steves new beer Harvest Hop is something not to be missed. I'll also be serving some cheese plates with bread and pickled onions to keep the alcohol at bay.

Hope to see some of you there (it's being advertised "elsewhere" so should be a busy evening)

I will now retire to my skunkworks studio.

What is the relevance of Roman tiling BigD?

What about a gift pack with different cheeses packaged in a way they resemble the Union Jack?

Nothing, other than creating images from different colours and textures of cheese like this with bread...



or if you get a bit more ambitious, do some toasted cheese:

Or if you become a total loon, you can try some cheese sculpture...





Probably a bit OTT...

We want more illiteration !
No thanks, a forum filled by those who can't read or write is not really conducive to brilliant discussion, is it....

Now if it's alliteration you crave: please do continue your discussion about Mike's myriad of marvellous mouthwatering cheeses....

Mmm tasty. You better believe it.

I wish it was tomorrow but sadly we still have both Thursday and Friday to get through before the Saturday cheese and cheer sensations....

Thanks for all the great suggestions.... one in particular has got me thinking, if I have time on the stall I may have a go......

I finished building the stall last night (same place as last year in the Hauptplatz) and Rapperswil is looking the part.

See you at the stall and/or at the brewery, I need a serious beer break.

Do you have to build your own stall ? I thought they provided some wooden contraption. Mind you they no doubt charge huge rental, and I know you have your own superior architecture....

Anyhow looking forward to seeing you at the market tomorrow, I have cleared my agenda accordingly and replaced the high-powered meetings, strategy-seminars and user-workshops that I had planned simply with the words Cheese/wine/beer/cheer.

See you tomorrow and looking forward to it.
