First night in our New Apartment

We have bought an apartment in La Mongie. We will rent it out and use it sometimes when it is not rented. There will be some time while we get ready to rent it though so we are planning on Christmas there and to use it plenty to learn all about it.

The living room

Poppy carrying out an inspection. She wasn't that impressed being in a different place. She also can't manage to go down the stairs without crashing down them all so has to be carried until she learns. Up is fine.

This is La Mongie village in the summer. Our apartment is towards the top and left of the buildings you can see here.

Tiny corridor kitchen that leads in to bathroom (!?)

It has one bedroom, this is currently chock full of a bunkbed and a truckle bed, we plan on replacing this with two single beds that will join in to a double when required.

As the bedroom is so chock with kids beds, on the first night we slept on the clic-clac which was very narrow. So we didn't get much sleep. Poppy didn't help by pacing around all night not happy about the new place - and having not had enough exercise in the push to complete the bedroom. As a result I was up at 7am despite quite a late night celebrating the purchase walking a stupid dog up the piste.

It was quite exciting. First we saw some footprints from a wolf (just by my foot - see how huge they are compared to Poppy's next to it - and Poppy doesn't have small feet)

There was driving snow

But I had wrapped up warm

This is Poppy looking at the back of the flat. Lights in the distance are pistey beasts.

This is the apartment later in the day. It often isn't this snowy around it.

Top floor here

 The road through the resort is on the left here and ends just out of the picture and the piste starts there. The apartment is in the nearest building on the top floor (2nd floor)

You can see the snow is lovely. We stayed up there for two nights. Doug popped back and fed the animals while I went to the supermarket. It was quite a trek down a very snowy road but worth it for some great skiing.

Anyone who wants to come and visit or to rent is very welcome!
