Look at the difference in the weather! Snow arrived in the valley just 24 hours after we had been up the trees in glorious sunshine and by Tuesday there was enough snow on the mountain for there to be much talk about an early start to the ski season. It took everybody a bit by surprise but now everyone has their winter woollies on!
In the meantime we have made great progress with our building and renovation work and have managed to move back into our little studio flat at last. There are still a few bits and pieces in the main room to sort out (aren't there always?) but basically we are no longer homeless and the work on the other areas of the basement level has also started, so that eventually - thanks to our wonderful insurance company - we will be in far more comfortable surroundings and should have added considerable value to our investment, we hope!
Because of the sudden change in the weather our next major task will be the bringing in of the plants and terrace furniture, as well as putting the winter tyres on the car. By next week we should be in full winter mode and looking forward to seeing our first wintersports guests when we get back from the UK in mid December. We will be trying to keep the blog up while we are in Britain and will hopefully have some news about our plans for the trip shortly.
