Heya! Hope you are all ok and are soaking up the winter sun! I bumped into Sarah in topshop and she told me about this blog, took me bloody ages to find it though! Anyway its good to hear that you are all safe and sound, and its wicked that tom has appeared to have joined you! The more the merrier. Its my 18th on thursday and I am gutted that none of you wil be there, but I will drink for you as I'm sure you will for me!! Its nice to know you are all safe and sound. I bet its lovely out there, you have definitely inspired me to do something productive with my gap year. Can't wait till you get back and can tell me all about your adventures, I bet there is lots to tell and I will be very interested to hear about it. I better go coz I'm in the forum and start work at pizza express (new job, woo!) in a minute. But I hope to see you all in the nearish future, stay safe, lots of love xxxxxxxx P.S sorry if I've posted this like 3 times but it keeps going wrong.

Keep enjoying the sunshine as it is so cold here every moring . it was -7 on my way to work yesterday.

Loving the pics of you all but most of all so pleased you are having such a great experience, you'll be able to dine out on this for years to come and it can never be taken away. love to you all can't wait to see you and hear all your stories mum xxxxxxxxxx

Hi Nic -- Sounds like you're having a great time. Must be the adventure of your lifetime - soak it all up you lot. Bet the sights, sounds and experience is fabulous. Hope you're taking loads of pics Nic. Obviously not too much happening this end - it is England after all and we're getting old.

Grandchildren Sam and Sophie are brilliant. Roxy and Hannah are both well and send their love as do Sally and myself.

Keep having a great time and look after yourselves.

ok, so maybe i spoke too soon it just so happens on what was going to be my second to last run down the mountain for the week, another snowboarder crashed into me. yes his board went straight to my bone, yes i am in a lot of pain, and yes the foreign doctors of Arinsal had the lovely job of sewing my leg back together with lush bright blue stitches.

oh well these things happen, ill be good as new by the time you are home tho, apart from a masive scare i am guessing :(

lots of love to you all. will be in touch with some good news soon. x x x
