The gentle art of skiing in sunshine
Emily and her husband Andrew visited during a worldwind tour of the world. It was great to catch up and hang out with the 2 after quite a few years.

The first night we fired up the BBQ and despite cold rainy weather, we roasted chestnuts on an open fire. I couldn't help but try to sing the famous ...

For the most part, though, we used our time at Verbier to catch up: homework, trip planning, journals, sleep, laundry. The kids were in heaven as they each had their own rooms. A little luxury that we have gone without this trip. Indeed, we have all done away with privacy as for the most part we have been sharing one ...
