Grief goes out to the deceased and injured victims of the catastrophy at Crans Montana. May the bereaved find strength and the injured recover from their serious injuries.

More than a week has passed since the devastating fire during a New Year's Eve party in the Swiss ski resort of Crans-Montana, and the first victims have now been buried. The fire claimed the lives of 40 people and left 116 seriously injured.

Due to the exceptionally high number of people who suffered severe burns in the basement bar “Le Constellation” when the foam insulation on the ceiling caught fire, Switzerland did not have sufficient capacity to treat them all. About half of the injured are being treated abroad, including in Germany, in specialized burn and accident clinics in various federal states.

Some new year traditions

A Berliner (Pfannkuchen) or Krapfen is a German jam doughnut with no central hole, made from sweet yeast dough fried in cooking oil, with a jam or vanilla pudding filling, and usually covered in powdered sugar or glazed. A traditional german sweet - but with a cute decoration made of sugar confetti, a chocolate smile and a HARIBO strawberry nose 😁

Our bakery offers "Augustin" close to new year and again around carnival

Another personal tradition since 2008: watching the Vienna New Year's Concert on TV

The Vienna New Year's Concert (Neujahrskonzert der Wiener Philharmoniker) is an annual concert of classical music performed by the Vienna Philharmonic on the morning of New Year's Day in Vienna, Austria. The concert starts at the Musikverein at 11:15.

The orchestra performs the same concert programme on 30 December, 31 December, and 1 January but only the last concert is broadcast every year on radio and television.

I wish you all a happy, lucky new year, filled with love, peace (!) and health.
