Rambles #7
It’s been a funny old week. For starters it has flown by. I got back from Skiing late on Saturday (11th), after a delayed takeoff and a taxi driver who seemed intent on doing 50 in a 30mph windy country place. I got very car sick. On Sunday, I cooked with my Dad for the…

Travel Ramble – Tignes No. 3
I almost feel like giving myself a reward for remembering to blog about my holiday three days in a row! But then I remember the crepes I had for lunch and think I’ve been rewarded enough! Update from yesterdays post: After much research on the subject of ski boots, I concluded that my boots were…
Travel Ramble – Tignes No. 2
Today I skied more than yesterday, swore at an annoyingly small thing and even had a little cry! I remembered to put factor 50 on my face today. It has been so hot! I’ve felt like a baked potato in my ski wear. The last run I did today, I did to prove to myself…
