Penguin Pears

Roger and Jools who run Chalet Renard over in Les Coches produced these cute 'Penguin Pears' for desert when one of our guests, Peter ( featured in 'Finlays Drinks Evening' back along ) , went over to visit them. Not entirely sure if it's intentional they look like penguins (can pears be moulded like bonsai trees???), but thats what they look like! Sure they tasted yummy too.

The weather of late in Val d'Isere hasn't been too inspiring, lots of low clouds, the odd rain drop in resort, that's good news though as it means snow higher up!!

We are forecast snow for this weekend so lets hope it dumps down!!

Despite the lack of snow, the pistes are still in brilliant condition, despite the flogging they would have been getting the last few weeks with all the extra people what with it being half term and all!

Snow dances will be done, snow will fall (hopefully!!).
