West Pier

I actually missed this! but this is the west pier lit up in ghost like fashion. Apparently its a promotion for tiger beer to coincide with the Chinese new year.

Les Arcs

We had a week in Les Arcs, the snow was fantastic (as it was at home!) Our apartment was lovely and warm and quiet (see Val Thorens!) with views of Mont Blanc.

Bowling with the O'Brays

Christmas Day

We spent this year at home on Christmas day......

Pooh Sticks

We went on a lovely walk in Ashdown forest, home of Winnie the Pooh.

Jackie and Darren visit

Jo's friend from school and Manchester came with her husband Darren for a visit to Brighton. I've never met them before but we all got on really well, we had a great weekend. Jo was I think rather excited at seeing her old pal and the free flowing wine went to her head, she performed a spectacular slow motion fall from the Pouffe!

A trip to Tuscany

So on Anna's advice we decided to stay at Varno's place. Such a peaceful spot, beautiful sunsets, friendly cats and dogs!! fine food, lovely swimming pool and trips out.

The O'Brays came to visit

It was great that the O'Brays came to visit us. The weather was kind so we managed to have lots of outdoor fun. Todd managed to get the kids to swim in the sea (Brrr)
