Merry Christmas and a happy new year!!

So it's been a while since I updated, the work side hasn't changed much, still not really getting more than a few hours off which means I haven't been skiing much at all! I'm really trying to find the time to get out but with guests not leaving til ten am it's a bit difficult! However I am not going to carry on complaining about that, we have had enough annoyed chats with each other out here to not bore anyone reading this with it all! I will start to get out earlier and on the up side my dinner service is going really well, got it running smoothly and getting good compliments, feedback and tips! So it's just getting on with finishing the morning stuff!

On to the fun stuff, had another couple of lessons, I am improving technically I just need to get my confidence back, so as long as I'm not on the shopping trip tomorrow, I'm off to the short steep run where I can practise!! I'm going to have more lessons in a few weeks hopefully! I even skied a red last week! Shocker for me lol!

Christmas went well, dinner was great... Apart from when I set the oven on fire, but that was only a minor blip :-) we all met at lunch time and had champagne at the top of te lift, I might be working hard and occasionally wishing I had more time free but being up there on a clear blue sky day looking across at mont blanc made it all worthwhile!! Didn't ski much because by we had lunch (yummy tartiflette!) I had to go back to put the turkey in! photos are from Christmas day!

Loving my guests this week.... Group of Geordies! Makes a change to be able to talk bout home and summer work places and them know where I mean! Plus the whole group (southern half included) are just really nice!

In other news my parents are coming on the 28th jan! Can't wait, will be so nice to see them and ski with them, I also think my skiing will improve a bit more with them here..... Well it has to or dad is threatening to hit me with his skis! Im already thinking of nice runs to take them on like the long tree line blue to la roche, and across to bellecote!! Plus I get to get stuff from the uk :-) So I really need to spend the new four weeks on the hill as much as possible so I get back to how I was last season!
