We spent a lovely week in Les gets, in the French alps with Mike's sister, husband & niece. This is a close up view of one of the mountains we could see from our chalet window. One of the few mornings I was up before Mike - wonderful sunrise.
Mark & I enjoying one of our favourite foods - oysters - yum!
I made another pear amaretto cheesecake as the one I made at Christmas went down a treat. So did this one as you can see! Let me know if you want the recipe - really easy.
A favourite pastime of mine & Liz. We spent an enjoyable time constructing the jigsaw after an afternoon skiing or in my case- walking! The last time I went skiing, which was 40 yrs ago! ended up with torn ligaments. Never skied since!
An enormous cat which sat watching our chalet from across the way.
A view of our little Twingo from the chalet - ice blue:-)

This was a good day for the skiers and snowboarders in our party. The big dump of snow ensured good skiing for the rest of the week.
Lots of lovely chalets of varying sizes and designs. This one is calle 'Le Miche' :-))
Kiki's chalet. Not enough room to swing a cat but very cute & pretty.
Very kitsch but I like it!
The town of Les Get. Lots of lovely shops, restaurants & cafés. It has an outdoor ice rink and a nightclub.
Le Petit Train - every town should have one :-).
Litttle cutie in pink.
Wow! You definitely won't miss this guy on the piste!
A well earned vin chaud and yes Liz you may leave the room :-).
