Photos of the ski area

You can see the cover is a little thin. But still fun!

This area is normally snowy at this time of year (you can see the dog down by the lake)

Earth works

The fosse septic (septic tank) had to get a bit dug up to put new pipes in to it from the toilet, shower, etc in the ex-garage. This is completed now and it has been filled in around it. I feel the whole garden is going to need some sorting out once we finish the house as we keep digging up parts of if.

 There will be some more pipes coming in to it from the main house at some point.

Tiling under way

Looking good! 

Lambs to slaughter

We just took six lambs and one of the sheep to the abatoir. All from the Ouessant (mini and black) flock.

The sheep was one I was fond of - called Tiree - she has not had a lamb for the past two years and we had to abide by the 'no slackers on the farm' rule. She was very tasty though!

Hard to take a flattering photo of irish stew, specially in the dark...

Looking forward to eating some lamb too.

So how's dry January going?

Really good!

We are still dry and have enjoyed weekend skiing without a hangover.

Losing some weight. Not sure if I feel more healthy over all, maybe.

But looking forward to the odd tipple next month!

Mmmmm whisky

Lovely skiing

After the snow yesterday, it obligingly was sunny today, so we went up skiing. Some really nice powder, massive improvement on last week. 

I didn't take a camera, but you can see the Pic du Midi is much more snowy than it has been.

It's snowing

You probably cannot really see in the photo, but it is snowing at the moment, and was hailing a little while ago when we were out ear tagging the sheep (the lambs are heading to the abattoir on Monday).

Doug was up skiing during the week and there was some better coverage than there has been. Hoping to check it out tomorrow - depending on the weather.
