Hello from GVA

Hi everyone. Still no pics am afrâid and again i find myyself in a booth... so the keyboard is in all the wrong place. I am in geneva at the mo waiting for my dad and maria and the entourage to arrive, some of which arrived yesterday. I am looking forward to this week as I haven't seen a lot of the ffamily for a long while. My Dad's 3 sisters are here, Helen, Cath and Renata with my 2 cousins, Olivia (9) and Freya (7), and my uncle David. My grand father, Peter is also arriving today and my Dad's ladyfriend Maria and her 2 friends, Fausto and Christina. Expect plenty of pics!

NEW SKIS

WOW! Today I've just completed a ski test on a pair of Rossignol X-Fight 1sts. I never thoughtt some better skis would makke such a difference. I immediately improved going faster and turning better. Short radius and carving turns. I had to go back to the shop and buy a pair! Not really surre thaat I can afford it but I couldn't miss them, they look so cool as well! I've got rossignol boots thhough and think I might look a bit geeky, Oh well. Watchh this space for further reports!

Megeve Piccys

So this week there's no one staying in the chalet and the snow has arrived. It started snowing yesterday at 1500 and it's still going so there's about a foot. It's not amazingly heavy but it is enough. Beccy's Mum and Dad are here for a few days. They stayed in Geneva because there wasn't a room to be had anywhere in Megeve and the chalet was reluctant to have them as guests. But they've driven up to the resort to have a look around. We had a very nice lunch indeed in the Couer de Megeve whilst gazing at the wintery wonderland through the restaurant's windows. Since I haven't posted many piccies here are a few of christmas in the snow! Here is the central square of megeve with plenty of snow and lights. There were also small "chalets" around the square with various christmassy related things to look at inside. Of course Beccy is in the middle.

The christmas tree was huge!

Again the square was brilliantly lit and bustling with people. The locals were serving free mulled wine and hot choccy and everyone was in high spirits.

Here are the staff clockwise from the top is myself, Beccy, Naomi, Gary and Richard!

Where did they go?

Ok a big big apology to everyone reading this. I have posted 3 times since I've been here and they've gone somewhere else. Who knows where. And I've come without my piccy's. Hmmfff. It seems I need to bring you all back up to speed so I'll try and remember my blogs....
