Back in the UK

I have been back in England a whole week and it has rained every single day. Facebook informs me almost hourly that my fellow seasonaires, although enjoying the luxuries that England provides and the Alps don't (such as being able to get more than one pint with your £10 and regular access to a hairdresser) are somewhat feeling the loss of the mountains and the bitchy camaraderie of living, skiing, working and playing with the same people day in and day out.

So here is the first post of my new blog, a blog in which I intend to document the lives, loves and losses of a group of very different people, thrown together randomly and placed 1700m above sea level. Some people came, some people couldn't face it and some people made it through until the bitter end (which ended up being 21st April 2012)

The posts won't generally be in time order. Just written as things come to me, but I will do my best to make sure they make sense.

And feel free to add your own memories or remind me of things I have forgotten!
