Nearly Christmas!
It is so close to me coming home now, this is a picture of the last boat I had to wash. Sad? Of course not!
Remember we went to the mountains last weekend? Do you recognise this place? It's not very easy to recognise if I'm honest.
This is a little easier to recognise. I did a panoramic photo using my phone, lots of little pictures stitched into one. Clever eh?! Both the pictures are from the same village, that will help.
This is highest-most point you can drive to up at Samoens 1600, this is how snowy it was when we got there. Lovely, isn't it?
This is from the walk we took at Fer a Cheval. We spotted some chamois (same animal the leather from your painting stick came from) up on the rock face. I can't see them in the picture so don't bother looking, but it's a nice story for you :-)
Recognise these two?! They are intently watching the chamois clambering on the rocks. We watched them for a while and they are incredible climbers! It looked like a mum and baby, they were very sure footed, leaping about in the nooks and crannies.
This is a self-portrait from the same walk. It was difficult to smile as the sun was very bright and I was concentrating on where my phone was pointing, so I am much happier than I look! It was gorgeous there, very warm and tranquil, it would have been perfect for you to take a picnic and do some painting. Maybe next time we are there if it's not too cold.
This is the pretty sky at Les Gets, it's not too far to drive from the Chalet an it is a very pretty town with lots of pretty shops. Everything there is pretty, worth a visit.
I took this this morning, it's of the two cranes we got to play with. We have taken almost all the boats out the water now, some are staying in over the winter. Lots of work for me to do before I come home!
I hope Dad has been keeping you up to date with the news from my numerous PhD applications. It's very exciting as there are 3 uni's that know about me (Leeds, Brighton and the newest, Bradford). I expect we will talk on the phone soon so you can ask me lots of questions then :-)
Lots of love,
Tommy

Hello hello hello my handsome one. You are looking rather gorgeous. I recognise that scarf. We were with you at Chablis market when you bought it and how it suits you. Do not recognise the village you were in at all. Don't think I have been there, have I? Samoens possibly?
It is only four weeks until you are home. Yippee. That will pass quickly. So looking forward to seeing you and playing Christmas games. I wonder if you will be drinking again?
Dad was telling me about Bradford. Just make sure you really really want to do that course and live in Bradford - I have no idea what it is like, industrial comes to mind. Well done though sounds like it could be promising.
All well here. Must do you a blog so you can see what we have been up to which is not a lot.
Love and miss you and thanks for the blog my lovely
