So the cold that continues to grip the rest of Europe is still here, but we have been promised it will return to more seasonal averages by the end of the week. In the meantime, the girls' two week holiday has started (what's that, I hear you say? Surely they just HAD two weeks off? I know, it feels like that to me too...) and their ski camp starts today and runs for six days. And then my sister and my two nieces are coming for a week. Hurrah!
Toby is away this w/e doing his ski marathon - the Grand Jurassienne in the Jurasse region - he did the 50km classic yesterday, and today he's doing 70km of skate. It was going to be about -20 at the start with a strong wind, so I hope he gets on OK. Expect another guest blog soon, with more tales of his derring do.
Of course, as soon as he left, both Anna and I came down with the gastro bug that's been doing the rounds of the girls' school (Indie had it last week). What joy. Still, everyone feeling more chipper this morning. Indie's probably going to be the only one going skiing this afternoon since Anna is still recovering and it's just too cold for Zoe (they don't move quite as much at 4...) so not the greatest start to ski camp, but hopefully tomorrow we'll have them all back on the slopes. Toughening them up, as Toby would say...
In the meantime, we did get some good sledging in on Wednesday. It was just down our driveway, but snow is fun, no matter where it is.
