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.

The toughest bike ride of my life
... 8217;t pinpoint what it was exactly. About halfway into our descent, I pulled over as I was getting stomach cramps and it was hard to stay focused on the road.
