Thanks to all who looked especially those who commented,

I Will bear it in mind but I think I would find it hard to persuade my
wife and children that he should go, besides I have just bought a dog
whistle which I have hardluy used ;-)

The child with the roesti is my youngest - note the iphone (yes it could
have been some other smartphone as well ) which allows us to eat in
relative peace.
> The KISS principle to its utmost - LOVE it!
For this I notice dthe low eveing light made a lemon look rather
pleasant so I tried that and then experimented with an apple and bananas.

It was intentional I wanted to emphasise the "doggy" look in his eyes
and this seemed to do it best, I find it very difficult to get the
exposure right when photographing him.

This again was difficult light but I wanted the windows dark without
loosing what I thought was the main focus the doll on the swing

> I love 'em all. What's the bottom layer of lunch? Potatoes?
yes the bottom is diced and fried potatoes perfect for when sledging or
skiing <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B6sti> similar to hash browns

refer to comment above I was intending the doll on the swing to be main
subject as I have rather a lot of window pictures but its noted and
maybe I try a more severe crop.

I rarely go to Zurich but I will try and see if I can do a few street
shots of the restaurant if I can find it.
Thanks again
