We have got back from a weeks holiday with friends in the Alps. I had a happy time sketching and walking while the others skied the mad fools. I had tartiflette which is a traditional dish of the area. It's potato, onion baked in the oven with cheese melted on top with a sprinkling of bacon. Mighty delicious it was too. Good thing I was tramping up and down mountains to burn off the calories. The washing machine and tumble drier have been getting our smalls ready for going away tomorrow.
We missed Raffy's 10th birthday. I felt sad not to have celebrated it with her. Today they dropped in on their way to climbing in Tunbridge Wells. What a wonderful treat. It was lovely to to see them and be able to be with her to open her present. from us. Harriet helped us with the choice. It was an easel with oil, watercolour and acrylic paints, brushes and paper. I am sure Raff will have great fun creating. I would have loved a gift like that.
I am off to pack.
