So christmas has passed with all its excitement of getting the offspring back to the family nest. 2010 was NOT a good year for air travel. It seemed that every time the kids travelled to or from university there was a problem. If not snow in Geneva grounding the flights, then an ash cloud from Iceland threatening the flights (we took photos of a dead geneva airport), and this time snow in England ( :o) which touched easyjet by closing heathrow and thus messing with its schedule. Liam arrived 17hrs late and Katie (eurostar via Paris) 41hrs late. James' bags arrived two hours late at the airport and one day late to the house.
With the new kitchen in the chalet, and the discovery of the carrefour supermarket in Avoriaz, which is sort of ski-in, ski-out, the preparation for christmas dinner was much calmer this year.
New year came and went with friends. I still have some missing moments from that evening.
Then the phone all that my father had collapsed at home and was in hospital. A quick trip to manchester to make sure all was ok.
