I'm on Instagram @lucyfuggle

I love summer here... and this path for hikes and runs, which looks over towards Lake Brienz on one side. You can see it peeking through at the back ☺️ Start at Meiringen, follow the signs to Schrändli, and keep heading up.

Since my 25th birthday, I’ve been doing a lot more lounging around looking at the sky 😉 I left my job, now I’m consulting for a few different tech companies.

Both sides of my family are now back down to 0 office workers, and we’re probably ok with that. I like that we’re a weird bunch of farmers, architects, nannies, builders, yoga teachers, tree surgeons, and whatever else.

I’m keeping my house in Switzerland for now, and will be travelling in Southeast Asia for a month coming up ☺️

Swiss house views, end of winter edition. Taken early in the morning, the moon still above the Wellhorn and Wetterhorn.

Saturday afternoon spent on my balcony with books, notebooks and my camera (plus gin & tonics). I did some life planning and need to do plenty more. I also finished reading the spy novel Red Sparrow, which was pretty terrible. Too much fighting in lace underwear and predictable romance. Might reread I Am Pilgrim, still the best thriller I've read in years.

4:45am alarm today for our traditional Harder Kulm hike for @trekksoft team week! Beautiful, chilly and bright mornings like this make tiredness completely worth it.
.
From here you can see Interlaken nuzzled between Lakes Brienz and Thun, with the Aare (site of our weekly swim club!) in-between. You can also feel weak and feeble in front of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

How I decided to deal with a fear of water 😁 My first cold water swim... straight in at 2°C in Svalbard last June. In our weekly swims @trekksoft since October, I still haven't fully mastered the art of putting my head under, but I've definitely got better at being bloody cold. @iainstepek is to blame for getting his glorious Arctic Naked Bathing certificate back in 2015 and making me jealous, starting me off on this slippery slope of chasing cold highs.

One of my favourite places to escape to, about half an hour from my front door. Life is schön.

Walkies with Zen, visiting TrekkDog and furry friend @trekksoft, a couple of weeks ago. He's not a fan of water so we didn't go swimming.

The mountains have been surrounded by grey clouds most of this week, but early last Friday before work was beautiful 😍

It's week 19 of our swim challenge @trekksoft, which means getting in the river every Wednesday at 9:15am 😊 Today's air temperature was -1°C and water 5.2°C ❄️ There's an elaborate scoring system, including +500 points for nudity, -80 for not putting your head under.
