We woke up late, again. Chamonix seems to do this to me. I blame it on the clear air and the snug warm apartment, but perhaps this time it was also because the streets were very quiet. Father Christmas had done his job and most people seemed to be pre-occupied in doors.
Eventually we got out and enjoyed the whitest, fluffiest of snow with the bluest of skies. Ahhh, this is Chamonix at Christmas.
The slopes were very quiet, and after a few exhausting runs we decided to stop for lunch.
A few more exhausting runs later we decided to call it a day and head on down to the valley for Christmas cake.
… followed swiftly with the full Christmas feast and an evening of Chrstmas TV.
Everywhere looks very quiet! We’re packing the skis for our trip to Scotland, but it looks unlikely that we’ll get to use them.
Looks like a lovely day! I did 3 hours of new DVD and 2 hours of Downton Abbey – rather different (and different from normal), but I enjoyed it!
I made Pete watch Downton Abbey. At last!, was all I could say at the end. But now what can they put into series 3?
Wow, what a great way to spend Christmas :star:
