Kitty has arrived!!!!!!!!!

Kitty has arrived and the girls have welcomed her in style. Up at the crack of dawn to groom and feed, and then back after school for more grooming and fussing. Today was the first ride along the line which Kitty really seemed to enjoy, as did the girls! At some point Mum might get her ride too!!!!!!!!!!!!

Belle Plagne Holiday 2007!

Another great ski week at Belle Plagne was enjoyed by everyone. This year we were joined by our neighbour Steve (or should we call him SKI-ve), having only previously had a weeks skiing whilst at school he turned out to be quite a wizz around the mountain, out skiing most of us! Jess and Naomi continued with their snow boarding on their new snowboarding gear. Naomi became the chusser of the holiday taking any bumps and dips in her stride, and mastered a red run. Jess boarded in the morning and then skied the mountain with Auntie Fe and Cousin Iona in the afternoon. Rowan made great progress at ski school, and on the third day begun the proper business of skiing on the mountain. As usual we enjoyed good company and good food but we did miss Alistair and Dee this year. Instead of Grandma Bell to look after her, Constance enjoyed sledging to nursery and is now conversant in French babble!
