Goodbye to our last visitors

We said goodbye to our last visitors this morning. I think Russell and Edie had a good time, although I am not entirely convinced that Russell enjoyed the bike ride up to La Foux. He did however appreciate the tea and cake when he got back to the chalet. Edie managed her first blue run and had a happy introduction to skiing in the spring sunshine.

We are packing up and leaving here at the end of this month. Before then we are off to see the Paris-Nice bike race as it passes through Castellane and then we are going to the coast for a couple of days to see the finish of Milan-San Remo (come on Cav). Hoping for some nice, sunny weather.

The snow conditions have deteriorated further here, which I didn't think would be possible! Unfortunately, this means there has been an increase in accidents on the slopes. We are seeing the helicopter ambulance more and more frequently as it ferries people down the valley to the nearest hospital. Nothing too serious so far, mainly broken arms and legs I hear.
