What to expect from the Alps in summer (Astons on tour)
Discussion
Rob and Mikey take the worlds two strongest termites for a walk..
The gardener really took a shine to the pretty white car..
Molly desperately tries to plug the vacuum.. While Mikey introduces Pearl to the joys of baby oil..
Last time I saw legs like that, they were in breadcrumbs..
"Look Molly, I think I've spotted someone I haven't offended yet!"
Day One in the House: William & Frances drove from the W Hotel in Verbier via the Furka & Oberalp Passes, now settled in relaxing in the Spa at The Chedi Hotel Andermatt:

Great pictures William. I so want to go back. The scenery is totally mind blowing, make the most of every moment. Have you played with any of the mad bikers going up and down the passes. 1200 GS Beemers are the ones to watch out for.
Have Fun, stay safe.

. It really is breathtakingly beautiful! We have seen a number of motorbikes and the same amount of cyclists, but not to many that we had commented they were a problem. We are quite west still and make our way further east today - if the rain is not too bad and the cloud high enough, fingers crossed I think there is a break in the satellite raindar (Meteox) which might just do it. Driving safely and with great care thanksW1111AM said:
Martyn, great news Sir! How are you getting here, driving all the way or by train?
William , Martyn and the lovely Mona are going with Petrol Head Nirvana. They will be travelling with 19 other cars of all types. They will have the bestest of times and make some friends for life! Molly and I have been on 2 such tours. Simply put I cannot recommend the company enough. W1111AM said:
