Summery of Holiday

I really don’t know why I skied so much better this year than last.

I was more confident and not so scared  but I think the real reason was the snow… it was so much better this year, not so icy and hard.

So home with no bruises  🙂  unlike last year.

If I am lucky enough to go next year I will treat myself to a nice orange ski jacketDSCF1819 as I just love the nice bright colors.

I did intend to wear my red walking jacket but the twice I went out in it I got mistaken for a ski rep as they wore Red !!!

Boys enjoyed the snowboarding ,the lesson was well worth the money but I was amazed at how tired they got.

Too much time sat in their room’s playing games on x box and PC and not enough exercise.

Maybe time to get Matthew down the Gym 🙂 especially if he’s going to join the Army. 

Left Geoff in Les Gets till 15th Feb so lets hope he gets some more snow as they need it now  🙁  especially for when Mark and Emily go out.

Roasting in the snow….

We woke to brilliant sunshine on our last skiing day in Les Gets.

So we decided to spend our last hours skiing/snowboarding on the red runs of Mont Chery .DSCF1789

I managed to ski from top to bottom with no falls , although I don’t pretend that I go very fast ,its still a great achievement for me.

It was so hot I swear you could have sun bathed in your bikini….

We had a great time although the boys were very tired by the end of the day.

Geoff treated me to a meal out on our last night together, a treat for valentines as he will still be away. It was great to spend some time alone with him.

We both had a Tartiflette a typical french dish, recipe can be found here.

We then went for a drink at the Golden Lion… a pub ran by Jim which had just opened that week-end 🙂

A very enjoyable evening and a great way to end my holiday.
