Chffing down
... it together. Had I managed it 8 minutes before I would have not been given a 'time out' by the darned machine. Most of Verbier has a weird habit of turning off washing machines between 11.10 and 12.30 and 13.00 and 20.00. No other applicance, or sauna or ski lift, just the washing machines! Grrr. Anyway, had a nice cuppa with Helen (see Elfabroads Great Adventure for further tales of ...
A nice gentle start on the slopes
... huge bank of powder which took me a while to wriggle out of. I'm not totally alone though, I think everyone had a fall in the powder at some point.
A little stop off for a drink. I am a fail of a seasonnaire, couldnt even risk a demi so went for a Coca-cola. First celeb spot-Heston Blumenthal coming out of the bar as we went in.
After our beverages about an hour of blacks to get home! Only one incident of stacking and sliding head-first on my back ...
Jobs done=none,photos taken=many!

Team dinner at 14
After a busy day in the chalet, more training, more ettiquette with Jane and two more staff massages, home for a qhick shower and back up to No 14 for a superb fine dining menu!
Basically tonight is a run through for the No 14 staff of how a client dinner will happen. From the moment we walk in the door we are treated as guests. I have a lovely glass of Bordeaux from Will who as driver/host I think has the hardest job of all of us. Canapes are goats cheese on polenta cakes with red ...
Interlaken. Harder Kulm Mountain
... Harder Rail Car which took us 4337 feet ( 1322 meters ) up the mountain. Simply spectacular and the views were to die for. The big deal here is the Alp Jungfrau which appears everywhere you go but from the top of Harder Kulm where we went it was a awesome view. This Alp is 13642 feet ( 4158 meters ) high with a lot of snow still on the top. Such a good view and so special to see. We realy are very blessed to be able to experience such beauty. As soon as you get to the top ...
