We've hired!

I finally get round to updating you on our new couple for this season. Duncan & Aimee will be working with us this ski season (in fact, they're out there already), taking a break from their jobs in the UK for a late 'gap year'. I was already keen to hire them when I read their CVs stating they were graduates of Reading University, my alma mater. OK, so they didn't study agricultural economics, but Aimee's French and German, and Duncan's law will surely stand them in better stead in the Alps!

When I interviewed them I knew immediately they would be right for us, so offered them the job on the spot. 2 days later they were in their car heading down to the Alps. Now that's what I call getting on with it; no messing around!

Duncan's now got used to using the snow blower and driving on the white stuff, now that they've bought some snow tyres - don't ask him about his experiences before he got the snow tyres!
