At long last:
Pictures!!!
Yes, yes, I've finally gotten around to posting my pictures from Tignes.
You can view the entire album (all 51 pics worth *wheeze* *pant*) HERE!!
Ta da!!
Last weekend was James's father's 50th birthday, which involved an amazing dinner party under a marquis and swimming in a mercifully comfortable, heated pool. It was great fun, James delivered a brilliant birthday speech, and I am pretty sure a good time was had by all. However, it must be duly noted that this was James's payback for me bringing him to my cousin's wedding 5 months into our relationship: he was absolutely inundated by relatives, which can be a very daunting thing, and the same thing happened to me at his father's 50th. James has an *enormous* family. His father has two other brothers and a sister, and each of them has a family of their own, which amounts to a pretty daunting pile-up of cousins. And here I thought I had a big family! *sheesh* However, I do repeat, it was a lot of fun, and his family has been nothing but kind and welcoming towards me. Amazingly kind and welcoming, even, and they're a very close and loving family, which is always a joy to see.
This weekend we had plans to go to Oxford, but I'm pretty sure those plans have been scrapped. We really need a weekend of doing *absolutely nothing* but just hanging out with each other. A quick look at a calendar informs me that I only have about a month left here, which is so sad I don't even want to think about it yet. I am doing my best to treasure each moment.
