Joyeux Noel!!
... some business cards and bought Tasha some ski boots for Christmas. We did visit the resort on Tuesday, with the idea of skiing and meeting Jeanne and Denis (Michel’s daughter and son-in-law) for lunch. Did lunch, but it was raining so much that we gave the skiing a miss!

I am now 54 years old. How did that happen? To think it was only 4 years ago I celebrated my 50th birthday in Cardiff during the last rugby world cup, just doesn't seem possible. Really looking forward to the Wales-France semi final at the weekend. Who do I support? Well I guess Wales – they’re practically French anyway being Gallois!
