The best kind of walk

The weather was not nice when we woke this morning so I was quite glad not to be skiing today.

The plan was to go snow shoe walking, something I really enjoy.

Finally once the weather had cleared, Thierry lent us some snow shoes and we were on our way.

Due to the late start we only managed 5.4 miles but how I enjoyed it 🙂

On the way down we called into see Gail so I could say my goodbyes. 🙁

She gave me some typical french love hearts, that she had made herself and will look fab hanging in my house.

needless to say I will be sad to leave Les Gets and Geoff tomorrow.

When we are over in Les Gets we always have Thierry and Gail over for a Cheese fondue.

Last night we did not break with tradition 🙂

To make the cheese fondue I followed this recipe

1. Rub the pan with Garlic.

2. Add 1 glass of wine per person.

3. Add grated cheese slowly ( 250g per person ) stirring continuously

4. When smooth add 1teasp of potato Starch.

5. Add a glass of kirsch.

As well as using cubed bread to dip into the fondue I tried a diced Apple and it was delicious, I would imagine grapes would be good too.
