I'm back after a life affirming week in the French Alps. Mountain people are amongst the happiest on the planet and the overwhelming positivity was a real shot in the arm. Wonderful weather, delicious food and unbelievable apres ski! I took a few mornings off to sketch the gravity defying wobbly houses of Meribel, but apart from that the holiday was a haze of sunshine, beer, music, snowboarding and midget's racing camels! It'll be tough to top that!
