Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

But with QE coming in in Europe for the next 16 months it could also go up.
(There is a thread on here regarding it)

Went to the physio for a sports massage yesterday after my exertions. Last year I was completely broken when I came back, this year with the work he did on my back last year and legs this year far less so. The stretching regime I have makes a world of difference. A slightly tight right hamstring and left quad was all the damage. Already started biking for the summer, aim is to climb a Col when I'm back in August. Oh and the property search has begun too, busy times

Have extended into the summer this year too. As I'm now buying an apartment there I visited for 3 days a few weeks ago and for a week returning yesterday. I love it in the summer too. The short trip was out of season but after a day apartment viewing I went for a big walk up Vallee Blanche with a friend and her dog. The weather was good and it was very chilled. It's been very warm for the last week and I did 2 fairly big walks, Lac Lauvitel which is beautiful, down to Venosc and back up which is very steep and another up to the top of Valentine. A lot of friends there this week and I went to a couple of barbecues and generally had a good time.
Next visit is for the 2nd half of August when I should be getting the keys for the apartment. My daughter and her boyfriend will be with me for the first week and a lot of friends will be there too. More walking, some mountain and road biking are planned along with some of the work needed in the apartment. I shall be having an apartment warming party and once I've bought a nice big table and chairs for the huge balcony plan to eat out there for the fortnight.
Next years report is likely to cover 7 or 8 months

That all sounds terrific, @Claude B - sounds like you've got great times ahead. I'm missing the Alpine summer for the first time in 12 years - not likely to be out again before late September, though autumn is wonderful too.

@skitow, Sounds good, I'm probably staying for 3 weeks now, getting a few jobs done the 1st week in September after everyone else has gone.

You know it makes sense.

@Claude B, Got power tools, hammer drill, circ. Saw, jigsaw stashed in ADH if ever any use to you.

@skitow, Thanks, good to know. Will take all my stuff out but there's always going to be things you're short of.

That encapsulates the loveliness of the Alps in summer. I don't want a second home and I wouldn't want to live in the Alps all year round, but they sure are a gorgeous place to spend lots of time. You done good.

@Hurtle, Thanks, hopefully I'll get to see you and some of the old crowd over there next winter. I'll have to make the effort to drive over to the EOSB for a couple of days
