Start Afresh

Thank goodness its February. I thought the January blues only applied when  living in England!

A quick trip to the UK was a chance for the girls to see their friends as well as take the entrance exam for their next school.  We also got together with the English family to say goodbye to Nick and his crew who are off to Los Angeles to launch Bremont in the States. 


Arrived back in Spain late Monday evening just in time for Yve’s birthday.  February 2nd was a fantastic sunny day and to celebrate we set out on our first skiing trip.

The Sierra Nevada didn’t disappoint.  We had been slightly sceptical about the snow conditions and the number of open runs but were pleasantly surprised by the amount of snow and how empty the resort was. 

The girls loved it, (even if we did slightly scare them by being a little adventurous with the colour choice of piste!)

We will definitely return.


The icing on the cake was finding out that both Yve and Madeleine have been accepted at the school for September 2010.

  1. Oh you do sound to have had a harsh January, I know how tough it is and that is why we come back here to Sussex for the duration. Congratulations to Yve and Madeleine getting into their 2010 school. We are back to Granada in a couple of weeks. There must be a table full of nick-nacks and pots waiting for me to fire in your kitchen?
