A lovely of Ellee’s
My star blogging protege Ellee is really riding high. Here are some comments culled from the internet today:- Paul Newman 43 year old Islington resident and London Conservative Mayor hopeful writes his thoughts and says:- 4 Ellee- I sometimes find Elee a bit alarmingly left wing…well compared to me anyway!! .

No snow Sunday in Les Gets
Looking back from the Nauchets Express into the Ranfoilly bowl. Remmants of artificial snow only. But the lifts are open with the Bruyere run into the village just about open and the Violettes run to the Nauchets still passable. Looking up the Gazelle black run on Mont Chery – not a spec of snow anywhere.…

Boarding in Les Gets
