Jaimie

With day light savings, we now get plenty of time to play in the garden after school.  
I find it too irresistible not to pick up the camera and play along with Jaimie.  And of course, it doesn't hurt that little Madam doesn't mind the camera, as you can see!!

Easter Joy

We've just had another fabulous week skiing with friends at Les Arcs 1950 over Easter.  
The weather was divine as the sun was out in full force, though the skiing was still good, until the end of the week, and it became quite slushy.

The week is utterly and completely indulgent with large pints of beer consumed over a long lunch, to mouth watering suppers of raclette and fondue!  Keep telling ourselves all that skiing will pay off!

We had a stop-over at Troyes on our way back and a couple of nights with the Guinnevarch's, who returned back to France from HK nearly a year ago.  They live near Lille, which is only 45 mins from Brugge, so we had a day trip to Belgium to ooh and ahh over every sumptuous chocolate shop.  That's where heaven is!!!

When we arrived back home in England, we were treated to a visit by the White family (also from HK).  Besties, Ella and Finnley loved the walk we all did to the Swan Inn for our Good Friday lunch.

On Easter Sunday, we rose early for our easter egg hunt as we later travelled to Bath for a couple of nights to stay with our friends (you guessed it, also from HK!)
Fell in love with Bath, such a beautiful city to explore.  The open top tour bus was fun and very informative actually!
