Hi!

I answer to Ellie among other less appealing names.

On the cusp of old age having turned 40 in July!!

I live in Bicester, Oxford - because someone has to!

Married to Simon and we have 2 wonderful children. Alister is 9 and Rosie is 71/2.

I work at the local school as a Teachers Assistant which makes skiing even more expensive as we are limited to half term!!

We first went to Borovets in 2003 and stayed at the Yagoda Village. We were very impressed with the Inghams kindergarten and general standard of instruction we all received in the Borosport and Albena Ski Schools.
We made friends with our instructor Krassi who has visited us twice in the past 2 years.

We returned to Borovets in 2004 this time staying in the Alpin Hotel. Much better as more central and meant we could get some apres ski before the kids need to go to bed.

We all love Bulgaria. The people are generous and funny and we enjoy their hospitality. It is a great place for the children.

I'm fairly rubbish at skiing although I was much better this year. I personally enjoy the friendliness of the holiday more than anything else. Simon and the kids are much better and it is something we can all enjoy as a family.

My spare time is mailnly spent taxiing the children to rugby, football, ballet, tap, Brownies, french club, swimming, music!!!! .................. I run the local Cub Scout Pack which only just leaves me an hour in the week to do the Tesco shop!

So now you know!!
