Nath and me heading for the ski fields. Chris is very good at skiing well shall I say passionate, so I am going to have to get brave and learn how to ski.

I was hopelessly anxious before during and after this experience, but I did manage to stop, and turn, that is as long as I was on a <10 deg slop going no faster than a slow walk...lol

skiing trip


After a hectic time to complete the current reno projects we took off for a few days skiing and snowboarding in the pyrenees mountians. It was fun/freaky/and the warmest weather we have had for a few months.

Nathan took to snowboarding like a duck to water. Chris was very patient with my tentative sking efforts.

The few days past very quickly though the aches and pains of the poor little body thought it was enough.

The big chill



The forcast big chill has it in full swing! The biggest snow fall in living memory. I hope the forcast warmup and rain arrives tonight, or we may not be able to get to the airport! This is my funny little snow man...sideways.

It has been snowing all day and is about 25cm deep now, who needed to go all the way to the mountians to ski, we could have done it in the back yard!


It seems that when I add more than one pic it gets a little confused, So the first is "the vegi garden" or was until it froze, the middle, my first little snow man and the right out white back yard.
I guess I will have to do this the slow way, one at a time...gggrrrr

enjoy and I will see all my wonderful family and friends in Oz soon :-)
