Surf and ski

Ahhhhh, the peace. We didn't have to get up to feed the masses, so a well earned lie in it was. It was fun having everyone around but it also feels great to have the house back to normal.

Our neighbours the Lloyds arrived on the 26th and have gone skiing. We fully intended to go with them but Minnie is a little too young to leave in kennels just yet, so we'll consider it again in February. We're so lucky to have the beach 50 minutes to the south and skiing an hour and a half to the north. Let's hope we make it.

Jan felt sorry for me, or perhaps just guilty, but either way she knocked up a delicious hot, chicken and ham pie for dinner. If anyone is short of food, we have a few tons to give away! You'll do me a favour.
