Sunday Morning.
Monday Morning.
Well whilst New York is in the grip of Sandy, we seem to be experiencing an early winter. The leaves haven't had time to fall of the trees yet but after Saturday night it really seems we are in for an early winter. Can't say I'm thrilled at the thought as this year the last of the snow disappeared in May and it feels like Summer was only a month long. Anyway it makes for some fun days for the kids. You feel alive when you walk in the crisp air.
Samuel building his first snowman of the season in our neighbours garden on Sunday.
Our woods are looking pretty and the sun was even out although it was 0C it made for a pleasant walk.

A funny looking snowman more like a snow cow.

We went off to Megeve to kill time. It is the holidays for two weeks and Manu was working, we didn't spend too much time here as the wind was freezing. They have set up the wooden games again in the square, the kids love them.
Emile Allais was the first person every in France to be crowned world skiing champion, and he is considered the first person to put skiing on the map so to speak in France. He was influential in starting the great ski resorts in Meribel etc and he started the famous ski school ESF, he was the first ever moniteur de ski and the first Pisteur (ski patroller). He was born in Megeve and he died last week at the age of 100. He was buried in Megeve and the funeral was attended by hundreds of ski fans. Here is the poster they put up above the Town Hall in honor of Emile Allais - Legend de Ski.
