  • The last time I listened to a direct-to-camera national address was during the London tube bombings in 2005. I heard the Met Commissioner say “stay where you are” then telephoned my boss and we agreed I could move between BBC buildings for a team meeting, only to later find out that one of the terrorists ran up Wood Lane and jumped on a bus right about the time I was blithely trotting up the same deserted street. Tonight it’s coronavirus. I was mostly distracted by the fact that I understood every single word Macron said, but then I checked my ego to register what I need to know. School closed til further notice, which with the Easter hols I would guess is at least 5 weeks. 2 kids delighted and one gutted, as Monday and Tuesday were his long awaited school ski days. Wish me luck peeps!!
  • We received this travel journal this week. It’s a school project that started life in Iowa last September and has been posted all around the world for different families to share photos and stories. It need one more international stop before heading back to Iowa in April. Our kids loved reading all the stories and adding their own about our time in France and the four countries (plus two states) they have called home. Do any of our international travelling family followers fancy filling in the last stop?
  • Off to see a friend for lunch and a bit late due to all the photo stops en route
  • Yesterday was an EPIC day. After a heavy overnight snowfall that turned our garden white for the first time since November, we headed up to our local resort to ski in deep powder for the morning. This I discovered is surprisingly difficult! But the resident snow boarder was in heaven and the falls were soft. After lunch we jumped in the car and drove to Spain for the last night skiing session of the season at Masella. It was magical - freshly groomed trails, a stunning sunset and the twinkling lights of Puigcerdà and LLivia below. The kids were very tickled that afterwards we drove into France to collect our takeaways and back into Spain to our hotel. A novel experience for our island dwellers. We had a hard time choosing where to ski today but have decided we can’t pass up skiing at home in some of the best snow in the season. Adios Espagne x
