Chalet Time - Deeep clean!
... surface it's a lovely chalet but on closer inspection there are sooo many things broken & faulty. Lots of stains & marks all over the walls and carpets, it really does look quite shabby and not in good condition at all. We have a broken ceramic hob & an oven that on has 1 knob when we need 3.

Kelly came to meet us to say Goodbye which was lovely - she stayed ...

We called Scott, our American roofer to take a look and there appears to ...
The toughest bike ride of my life
... 8217;Huez but definitely tougher. Of course, Tanya, in her never ending quest for a workout, had researched the hardest – yes, you read that correctly: HARDEST – way to reach the summit. We started our climb from St. Michel de Maurienne at around 11 am. The sun was out, I was still feeling pretty limber, and off I toodled with the gang. The first part of the climb began within about a kilometer. What I was soon to find out that this was only the ...
