Eurostar to Paris, hotel Mercure in Montmartre, all the obvious tourist spots, fantastic performance by England to beat France at the Stade de France, atmosphere in abundance, dinner in the Ile de la Cité, more tourism on Sunday and Monday. Very lucky with the weather and signs of Spring.

Hockney exhibition and Aida at the Royal Albert Hall
9th March 2012
Very special day out in London before weekend in Paris.
Hockney exhibition was mind blowing. Treat at Fortnum and Masons, dinner at Royal Albert Hall and then Aida before night at the Radisson Edwardian. Would we cope with Paris after this?

Last entry December 2009! Can I revive my blog? Let's start with some memories of 2012:
January
Went skiing to Val d'Isère before Christmas so no holidays in January. Trips to art galleries and museums.

Espace Killy - as good as it gets

The last week of term spent skiing in the Alps was ample reward for having had to have worked almost full time for most of the second half of term. The Espace Killy at Tignes and Val d'Isère is about as good as it gets and I loved the blue skies and crisp snow although it was extremely cold and, at times, almost too cold.

The visibility was amazing and we were able to cover a huge amount of mileage and even saw some of the World Cup events at Val d'Isère - a first for me.

A nine hour wait at Chambery on the way back was not quite as bad as last year's delay as we at least had seats to sit on this time.
Came back to snow in England which lasted through to Christmas day.
