New Year 2009




After our drive back to Munich via the beautiful town of Freiburg, where we spent a night, we rested quickly before meeting up with friends nearby for a New Year's dinner. Mattéo and Juliette as well as several other children joined in the fun and watched the private firework displays until the early hours. Mattéo was also put to work as a very elegant snacks waiter.
A bit bleary eyed, we set off, on 1 January, for our Hutte in Tirol for three days. The conditions were chilly, but very sunny. We managed to get used to the heating regime needed in the Hutte (all wood burning heaters) and most importantly we got to know our local ski resort : Kuhtai.

It was quickly clear that neither Mattéo nor Juliette had lost any of their enthusiasm for skiing. Before long, we found Mattéo skiing backwards down a red run, giving Juliette encouragement and a few tips!!

We got home on the Sunday evening and entertained Floppy with the children's racing track.
