On the border between two Swiss cantons - Basel Land and Basel Stadt - popped down to the village for some croissants 🥐

My first proper day with my recently purchased Holden Commodore station wagon.
It's a 2001 model 3.8 litre V6 with only 79,000 km, drives like a new car.
Unfortunately Holden the company is no more, General Motors closed them down at the end of 2020 after 72 years.
Growing up there was a massive rivalry between Holden and Ford, especially on the racetrack.
You were either a Ford or a Holden family. Our family was definitely a Holden family so after my last couple of cars being something other than a Holden it's nice to come back to the fold.

Brief interruption to the bike ride while the Small One investigated a stream.

It's tough being car free...

Left the bike at home, hiking Conic Hill, Balmaha and statue of Tom Weir.

I don't believe there is a vaccine. It's just one of those childhood things that kids need to get!
If you don't get the immunity during childhood, there's more chance of Shingles when you're older.

Chickenpox used to be very common in the United States. In the early 1990s, more than 4 million people got chickenpox, 10,500 to 13,000 were hospitalized, and 100 to 150 died each year. Chickenpox vaccine became available in the United States in 1995.

I don't believe any of us caught the virus
