February 16, 2006:The skiers return

downhillIndeed we do all deserve the title of skier. Me, after an interval of about 30 years, found that I was not too decrepit to start again and finished the break actually carrying cargo while ski-ing. And the two girls after a 45 minute lesson were unstoppable. Admittedly this all took place on the real nursery slopes but no matter. We did it! Again and again and again. And they want to come back next year. Well, next week preferably. The picture shows Mia ski-ing with utter confidence.

There are a couple more pictures on the family newsletter website – just make sure you scroll down enough. There is also a video of Gwen and Mia in action on that website.  Thanks to those who turned up for the webcam rendez-vous. Tony has pictorial evidence of this somewhere which I may add either here or on the newsletter page when I find it.
