Courchevel January 2009

We went to Curchevel 1850 in January, it must be our 16th time, and it was just as good as always. This time we had Freddy and Jenny with us and Harry, who was a friend of Freddy's when they both up at Oxford. It was Jenny's first time on skiis so a big adventure for her.

This is the view from our sitting room balcony Dinner at a great French restaurant of leg of lamb cooked in the traditional way on an open log fire
We were Joined by Daniel Besseiche the famous art dealer and an old friend

That all we have but Freddy and Jenny have more on Team Inglis. A great holiday and lots of nice memories. Same again next year?

Winter has arrived in Uppsala

We woke up this morning to this view of the garden, and a temperature of -8 C.

So it's a morning of clearing the snow, and then staying indoors in front of a log fire.

It's a beautiful sunny day now with a clear blue sky. Virve is even thinking of getting out her cross country skis!
