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!

We couldn’t pass up a pint of cider on a warm evening with such a beautiful backdrop as the Pyrenees.
