This is dads efforts to get a photo of mum and us kids on the slide :-)

Camping at Liphook

Last year Nanna and Poppa bought us a tent and we were determined to use it this year. We decided to give it a test drive and go somewhere close for one nights trial. We headed south on the A3 and came across a field at the back of a pub in Liphook. Camping sans facilities, there wasn't much on offer in the field except a big space to put the tent in.


We had to muck in and help dad because Liam decided he wanted a feed and there were very dark clouds looming.







Luckily for us (or dad) we stumbled across a Country Golf Resort, one of the friendly golfers gave us some golf balls and we practised our putting, we also had dinner and a buffet breakfast there the next morning, camping in style :-)

Snow Snow and more Snow in Tignes

our first day at Tignes we headed out to explore the village


and show off our new sunglasses and ski jackets.... we had no idea how much we were going to need our snow jackets!


our first night in the hotel.... in her excitement she forgot something :-)


day 1 and they took dad right to the top! 3000 metres above sea level in a blizard and he has only skied twice before!


heading off to school in the snow... its not like going to school in putney


zara was not a big fan of the snow, she prefered to be inside where it was warm and cosy


its a tuff job clearing the cars but someone had to do it


outside school, there is a car in there somewhere


this kind of shows how cold it was, our folks couldn't talk to each other on the chair lift they had to cover every bit of exposed skin and hope that they didn't get frost bite


with all the snow on the ground it was difficult to walk so we took to the sleds


zara catching a ride with me


then we found this slope where our parents hurdled us off the edge and tried to catch us at the bottom


on the way home.....


..... we found an igloo


so we all went inside for a nosey


i'm not sure that zara was too impressed!


and then the sun came out..... this is dad waiting nervously in the queue for the button lift (poma) he made it all the way to the top of the mountain and it was 950 metres long.


and then came the views


these two are taken from our hotel room across le lac



dad! about to embark on the black runs - what a view


mum!!


dad, james and chloe, even though they had ski itis they did stop for lunch


finally it stopped snowing long enough for us to build a snowman


even though his arms were made from twigs he was a very cuddly snowman


back inside the igloo


daisy and i made cakes for chloe's birthday


mum tried to get me to do a serious face for a photo of our snowman (24 hours old) and travel bear
