Ueli and Hans-Peter tell me that the Cheese Ripening Symposium was invented and nurtured by Ylva Ardö and that 2008 will see the 5th conference: it's the turn of Bern after Lund, Besançon, Banff and Prague. Folks, you like travelling the world. So if you're planning a Cheese Ripening Symposium in the Caribbean or the Seychelles let me know, I'll gladly give you a hand!
You also told me that
Lovely - our world-famous Swiss cow - appeared in the moon landing in Banff and ski-jumping in Prague. Nice ideas, both of them. But compared to my performance they were a bit feeble. Just as well I pushed myself forward or the cow would have turned up a third time.
