Back in Serre Chevalier

We're back and the winter has commenced! Both of us have been away for a week or so, Gavin training instructors for BASI in Verbier and me (Mel) back in the UK visiting family with the kids. Ryanair flew us from Turin to Stansted and did a great job of looking after me and two year old toddler and baby Ellen - I was dreading the flight but it went so smoothly! Then we took a BA flight from Gatwick back to Turin yesterday and their large luggage allowance of 23kg per passenger, including baby sharing seat with mum, was such a bonus! We had a relaxing time with Gavin's family in St. Ives, Cambridgeshire, and my parents in Brighton - now living in Brighton Marina which is surrounded by small boats and big yachts (our second hobby is sailing... but we're not doing much of it until we get ourselves a small family boat... anyone got a Kingfisher 20+ with a Junk Rig?!)
