Ah March, how happy happy happy you made me. To be honest, though, any month that both starts and ends with a holiday has got to be a good one, am I right?
.
What I
did:
·
The
start of the month was the end of our February ski trip, which I talked about
in my last wrap up: mountains and My Best Guy = perfection.
·
One
of my littlies had her first dance show in March so that was a lovely time,
followed by Thai food with MBG. Always with the Thai food. We have a bit of a Pad Thai related problem, truth be told.
·
I
went out with some friends – we went for tapas at our friend’s bar and then to
one of the local theatres where they were showing Mamma Mia on a big screen
complete with falling confetti and live music. There was prosecco and dancing
and it was a fabulous evening.
·
I spent
a day with my Mum, Auntie and Granny doing crafty stuff which was low key and
lovely. I do not excel at the craft stuff, but it was good to spend time with
them.
·
I
had brunch with Helen and Molly – and Dan too actually, which was a lovely
time. Molly’s reaction to the black pudding on her plate was hilarious.
·
And
then I went on holiday again.
·
I
spent a day skiing in La Plagne with my pal Jane and her husband and two
gorgeous girls. It was one of those perfect days – we skied and laughed and
danced and drank and when the 4 year old was asked what was the best part of
her day she said it was My Best Guy helping her put her skis on. Too cute.
Chair lift selfies galore, guys. & vin chaud.
·
MBG
and I then spent two days skiing in Val D’Isere and Tignes. It was perfect:
blue skies and good snow and so so quiet we often felt like we had the mountain
to ourselves. I finally finally skied The Face black run in Val D’Isere which I
am super proud of as I couldn’t have done it even last year. I was terrified at
first, but I loved it. I had the biggest grin on my face by the end.
·
We
had an amazing pizza of dreams at a cute little bar in a lil town called Saint
Foy.
·
We
headed home via a town called Troyes which we immediately fell in love with,
all old timber buildings and prettiness. We drank a lot of fruit beer and sat
outside IN T-SHIRTS. This is remarkable as it’s been like winter again in
England. Brrr. It was minus one yesterday morning when I got in my car. What even?
·
Back
in England we had a night in Cambridge – again, fruit beer and fruit cider and
pretty old buildings. Less of the tshirts. See above re temperatures in England.
