Chalet Time - Deeep clean!
... It was our turn to cool tonight but since Sandrine couldn't get to the shops we didn't have a lot of food to work with or practice the menu plan so Tim whipped up a couple of Frittatas, a goats cheese pie, nicoise salad and a chocolate cheesecake - so we had a lovely informal dinner tonight.

The toughest bike ride of my life
