Re: Happy new year
Dear Sarah -
2011 was great because I had the chance to meet you in the south of France. Stay healthy in that wonderful climate and I hope it won't snow on you this year!
Our splendid mountains are making an appearance today, so the weather is off to a good start, and I will take that as a good sign for the year to come.
Bonne Annee a tout la monde!
