I suspect James Blunt will be murdered after that tantalizing shower scene, though I don’t want any of the 3 mentioned to go - at least not yet. I also think Hannah Fry will not last long as a traitor, as she is not devious enough. #CelebrityTraitors

WE in Alsace (not 1st time) but struck so much more this time by the history and cross-cultural nature. It reminds me so much of Trieste. PS meal portions much too generous!!

Some Swiss direct democracy voting days have the world watching, with all eyes on the nationwide ballots. Remember the 10M population cap in June? Today, both national ballots will be rejected. So many zoom in on the cantonal level: Geneva, for example, is voting on free contraception for all

I suspect we are supposed to be empathetic, but my only feeling is ‘Thank god for that!’ #theArchers
