Explore europe in a campervan

Here’s what we’ve been up to and some pictures…

Simon went to Chamonix to meet his friends Jamie and Becky for snowboarding - Jamie got stuck off piste on an icy/rocky hill and had to be rescued!

I went on some great walks around Seytroux - now I’ve seen - Bambou (the golden retriever I borrowed for a walk),  three big deer-type things in the garden, two littler deer with white fluffy tails, a black squirrel, a goat, three frogs, two huge atns nests, a couple of foxes, a badger and a cat with no tail (we climbed a big hill to see what that was!)

Rab hosted a Caribbean night and cooked about 50 chickens and 3 tonnes of rice - no room in the fridge for anything else now!

I successfully went snowboarding and had a great day - Simon hired a ’snow scoot’ - cross between a snowboard and a scooter.  I spent most of the day sitting on the side of the piste waiting for him to catch up with me!

We went for a bbq at Nyon with Viki, Phil, Mike, Linda and others for Viki’s birthday - it was mercifully much warmer than the last bbq we had outside the vans but, despite taking our bedding and essentials we still wussed out and didn’t spend the night in the van.

The weather’s been mostly beautifully sunny - until yesterday when it rained heavily almost all day.  There is very little snow in Seytroux now, much to my Mum’s disappointment as she arrives tomorrow and is expecting a pretty Alpine picture of snow-covered chalets and trees!
